Help to identify small flowering tree

17 years ago

I once had this tree in my yard, but I had to move. I have found a second one since then but I have not been able to identify it on any other websites, or by books.

It is a small 10-12' deciduous tree with clusters of white flowers that bloom in early May. The leaves are about 2" long and football shaped. The individual flowers in each cluster are about 1/2" in size, cone shaped with many petals. They look similar to a partially opened daisy. Based on the two that I've seen, it seems to prefer partial to full shade. The trunks are multiple - perhaps similar to a crepe myrtle.

I would be grateful for any suggestions!
