One of the first to flower--and what a way to welcome spring! Blooms even before it leafs out--honey-sweet crimson-lavender blossoms. Grows 20-25 feet tall, shaped like a big pink umbrella. Produces golden fall foliage and green-pink seed pods into winter.

One of the lovliest small trees, beautiful umbrella-like growth habit. Prolific early spring flowers along the stems, followed by graceful foliage. Tolerant of shade. Makes a lovely speciman or group with other woodland plants.

Dogwood?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's a redbud. They've been blooming all over here in TX.

 

[SacrosanctFiend]

It's an eastern redbud, unless I'm drunk off my ass and can't see correctly.

 

[FeuerFrei]

Typical redbud. Lots here in Texas as MrPickins sez.
