The Japanese Pagoda tree and the Chinese Scholar tree are actually the same time of tree, just different names.
This is the tree in the photo.
^^ time type
Also, are you asking for similar trees of a different species?
A Mimosa tree is also in the Pea family like the Japanese Pagoda tree.
@PhiNotPi okay so it is one tree, more than one name.
And I’m looking for trees of any species, but preferably from North America.
But the tree in the link and the tree in my OP do they look somewhat different or is it at different stages of the tree’s life?
@Tropical_Willie Those look nice too. I’m looking for trees with beige flowers by the way.
There are no flowering trees to my knowledge that have beige flowers. The Japanese Pagoda, for example, has creamy white blossoms. Lots of pictures here
Trees with similar flowers are the honey locust and the horse chestnut (both blooming now and very beautiful).
Pine trees that bear cream colored flowers or “flowers” I should say.
“Flowers” just because, what do you call them all, except for the ones that are not flowers but they look like flowers from afar? Some cones look like flowers from afar. A tree could look like it is decorated with little cream colored flowers but closer they look more and more like little candles. I saw them in pictures.
@gailcalled why do the wikepdia’s picture of Horsechestnut and tree in Arborday look different? So odd?
PIne trees are evergreen and do not have flowers or blossoms, just pine cones.
The photo in the arborday link is the honey locust and that from Wikipedia is the Horse Chestnut. The photo you like from wiki is that of the Horse Chestnut after it has bloomed.
Pictures can be deceptive due the the photographer’s choice of distance, lighting, focus, angle and personal vision.
The flowers on trees are complicated and varied.
I have been using the pocket-sized “The Audobon Society Field Guide to North American Trees” to Id and study trees for decades. It is much easier than going online. Just roam around your neighborhood over the next few weeks and see what is blooming.
Check out also the Linden tree.
@gailcalled
Here Horsechestnut from Arborday.
I’ll get back re. the pine and the cones.
So, what do they call things that are not cones on some pine trees? Cones are hard, but these things look like they are similar to this (the sticking out part).
@flo: I am not able to understand your language, so unless you have photos, I am going to have to sign off.
I had to leave fast last eve.
here
is an example of a cone looking like a flower. A pine tree.
@gailcalled I forgot to post the link with the “sticking out part” in my post before last. I’m looking for it.
Thank you all.
@flo; The cones in the photo you sent are from the larch tree (a form of evergreen) and are a true cone, If you look at them sideways or before they open up so much, they have a more traditional pine cone look. Similar to these from the European larch.
Learning about trees is fun; for example, there are at least 115 different species of pine trees, all with their own unique cones.
For example, the trees in the background in this shot are accidental northern white pines, three of many on my property. They are called “accidentals” because they grew (very rapidly) from the woody seeds that make up the pine cones, blown by the wind or pooped by a bird or dropped by a squirrel.
Anyway @gailcalled the link had a cone that looked like a purlplish rose.
The links you posted, very interesting.
’Here
is another interesting one.
@flo: I continue to see the larch tree cones in the photo you sent.
