| Fallen leaves |
In late September the trees started to become very colorful. The leaves turned yellow, red, and brown. The leaves also have uneven edges. After the leaves turned colorful, they slowly fell off and left the tree bare. Since the weather has been so warm, the trees started to blossom.

Does anyone know what type of trees these are?
Answer: Mrs Yollis and I contacted a local arborist (tree specialist), named Mr. Mortimer, who works for The Acorn. He kindly let us know that the tree is an ornamental pear tree. Thank you Mrs. Yollis and Mr. Mortimer.
Could they be almond trees? I'm sure they have white blossoms and bloom early in spring.It's certainly a beautiful tree. Good luck with your quest Miriam.
ReplyDeleteDear Miriam,
ReplyDeleteI am jealous of the weather you are enjoying. It was 3 degrees below zero this morning! Brrr!
I would guess that the blossoms are from a type of apple tree. I grew up with a few apple trees in my yard and the blossoms looked a lot like your picture. (Great photographs by the way!)

Dear Miriam,
ReplyDeleteI think that the trees are so cool. I like that you showed the blossoms , so that we see the story. The blossoms on the trees look very white , but soon they will fall off the trees. I have some questions for you:
Do you know how long you have had the trees?
How old are they?

Dear Mirriam,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post.
I do have to agree with Mr Salsich, I would say it is an apple tree.
As when I lived on the farm we did have a few apple trees as well as cherry trees and they would often blossom into flowers just like your photograph in your post. Also I do remember pink blossoms too.
Am looking forward to everyone elses response to your question.
From your pal,
AA.
Dear Miriam,
ReplyDeleteI love the new post! If we just look around, there are so many topics to write about right in front of our eyes!
Speaking of right in front of your eyes, now that you shared the photographs of your trees, I noticed there are a lot of these trees in my neighborhood. In fact, two of them are in full bloom down on the corner.
Your text and the photographs really help with the investigation. I have a question for you. Do these trees ever bear fruit?
Looking forward to figuring out the mystery!
Your pal,
Mrs. Y♥llis
Miriam,
ReplyDeleteI believe it is an Asian Pear tree. We have many of these trees in our town, they even line our main street!
That is my best guess anyway :)

Dear Miriam,
ReplyDeleteThoose trees look very cool.
The pictures you took really capture a story. The trees on your post look exactlay the same to the ones at my house ,and I think they are apple trees. Plus I don't think I saw an apple tree since I was two years old.

@Mr. Salsich, AA, and Mr. C
ReplyDeleteI have lived in this house for 2 years and I have never seen a single apple or fruit on the tree. I therefor don't think it is a fruit bearing tree.
On my way home from school, I noticed a lot of similiar trees in our neighborhood all blooming and blossoming

Dear Miriam,
ReplyDeleteHmm, no fruit. The mystery deepens.
I think I'm still going to stick with my guess though. Maybe it is an ornamental fruit tree. Ornamental fruit trees have been designed to have very small fruit and beautiful blossoms. Do you remember ever finding any real small red or green berries under the tree? They would be almost like one big seed wrapped in just a little bit of fruit skin.
If not, then I am stumped. I look forward to finding out the secret of these mystery trees!

@Mr. Salsich,
ReplyDeleteI never paid attention if there were small ornamental fruit growing on the tree. I guess I will have to wait until spring to find out, and update the post with new information.
I hope I will get an answer soon!

Hi Miriam,
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures on your blog, and am truly intrigued by your question of what type of tree it is. Could it be a type of orchid tree?

@Aaron,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you like my story. There has never been an apple on the trees. I guess we'll have to wait until spring to find out if there is any ornamental fruit growing on the trees.

@Selena,
ReplyDeleteThank you for visting my blog. I'm glad you liked my post. I have never been to some place so cold. Do you like the cold or would you rather live were its warm?

Miriam
@Linsay,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you liked the story I captured. The trees were probably planted around the time the house was built which is probably thirty years ago.

Well sometimes (especially in the winter) I wish it was warmer. But since its so wet in the winter the summers are so humid! I wish I lived somewhere warm and sunny all year round. But I might not last long in your heat because im so used to the cold. You sound like a really sweet girl and I will check your posts often.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
