this tree has been in my backyard for as long as i can remember, but i've never seen it actually sprout anything. there was only 1 flower, and it felt pretty thick, so im not sure if it will turn into a fruit, berry, or anything at all. the trunks of the tree are thin, but very long. the leaves are an uncommon shape, since the only trees i get in my town are coniferous trees and birch trees.

Some random person called a tree service I had never heard of to cut down the tree in the front yard of a house I am selling. They did so without my knowledge or consent (no contract, did not check with anyone) and whoever called them paid them with a bad check aand has now dissappeared. The buyers want the tree replaced with the same kind but idk anything about trees. Would be grateful if someone could tell me what kind it was.

I was backpacking in the high Sierra mountains in early September and came upon this tree as I was somewhere between Crabtree Meadows and cottonwood pass ( much closer to Crabtree). Elevation was probably around 10,500 ft. Chat GPT first said it was a Bristol Cone Pine and I said no way. Then it said Foxtail Pine.
Now I want to ask a real human what this might be

They said every part, leaves, flowers, sap, and roots.

They told me it contains cardiac glycosides and to keep pets/kids from chewing debris, avoid sap exposure, wash hands after pruning, and not to compost trimmings into edible garden beds.

Is this a toxic tree? My 4 yo plays with the fallen flowers all the time!

This tree in our Northern California backyard has started producing a pear-like fruit the last two or three years. We had no idea it might be a pear variety or even if it is a pear. Pics below. I tasted a bit of the fruit and it is pear flavored, and very dense. No ill effects so far! What exactly is it?

I cannot figure out what tree this is. I think it is invasive as it reproduces very quick and everywhere in my yard.

I am in the South Eastern part of Nebraska. New leaves are red then turn green as they mature. It seems to be a softer wood as the branches break extremely easy

Solved! This was from one of those shitty bonsai kits a family member got me. Lucky to actually have success. This is supposed to be a Jacaranda?
