Reply:Hi:


There are a couple of possibilities. Yes, the Dogwood will bloom in April, but the Bradford Pear tree blooms in March in the south. The Bradford Pear tree is one of the first trees to bloom in the southern United States. I will link you to the gallery of plants section of my website. There is a page on Bradford Pears, and see if this is the tree. Dogwoods, usually bloom in April in the south, and their flower colors are white and pink. I hope this information helps you.





I will also link you to the site map, as this page has everything that is on the website. Browse through and see if you can find any other information that you can use. Good luck to you and have a great day!

Reply:These may be dogwood, if you are in say, zone 6 or 7 right about now - dogwoods will have white petals - four per flower, and they will be white or slightly pink with veins on them that run from one point at the base to one point at the top - the petals are fairly round, about the size of a nickel.


It they are smaller, you might have a pear or an apple. The pear or apple tree will be shorter and rounder in shape. Sometimes the pear tree form is almost tear-drop shaped. Dogwoods have more horizontal branches in them and are understory trees - mostly in shady areas or clusters at the edges of larger wooded areas. Apples and pears are normally ornamental or domestic - standing in larger clearings, fields, and front or back yards.


Lastly, if you are farther south, some of the cherry trees will be in bloom - their blossoms are more pink. They are found all over, but they bloom quite briefly and they tend to have a spreading top - this time of year they are not yet blooming in zone 6, but they soon will be.
