Sigh. Those are undersized and too widely spaced for the parking lot, where you want to cast as much shade as possible to cover pavement and cars so the cars don't volatilize their fuel, and the canopies reduce ambient temps and slow peak precipitation flows.

Dan , words of wisdom for the parking lot owner ... though i am only curious on the type of tree it is so i can research them for my yard :) hahah

I am not getting a great pic on my monitor, but it looks like a Bradford pear to me. Is it, guys? If that's the case......no you do not want them along your drive.

if the fruit is not ripe in your pictures yet, i'm guessing japanese plum tree?? if that is what they are, you don't want that along the driveway. they are messy. my father in law has one. they are good to eat though. very sweet. not tart like a plum, more fleshy - similar to texture of a mango.

hmmm i wish there was a way to attach pics to this site like every other forum im on !!!
or is there and i just dont know ?

i know bradford pears are terrible, so if thats the case nevermind .
i just want a few nice oval crown shaped trees to line the 150 foot driveway , maybe 50' tall max , 30' wide .

at photobucket.. point at the pic.. up will pop some codes..

copy/paste the HTML code into the body of a post.. on preview... if you see it.. we will see it ...

not a crab from what i can tell

Oh, whoops. In my harrumphing I forgot to ID - looks like some sort of Bradford pear to me based on those suboptimal pix...

Dan

i said to copy the HTML codes ... when you point at the pic in photobucket.. it will say

HTML code: copy that

not the http

The link in the OP is just fine. The new ones today are the same pix. No difference. Nothing added. If you want to embed the pix in this thread you need the HTML tag img src.

Dan

ok , heres the pics but with the HTML codeAND ALSO the original 5mp size.
also realize this was taken with my phones camera... i can always bring my camera to the store on monday next week when ill be there.

Yes, this is a Malus. Hundreds of kinds have been grown in North America.

Definitely not a bradford pear.

Regarding the pictures. Obviously it's easiest if the pictures are directly in the post but the OP's initial clickable link opened up an album. If you then clicked on the pictures you got large versions. I could see them fine.

i know flora , i was wondering about that too . . . i think some people didnt know they needed to click to enlarge..
oh well .

I did enlarge them, and the problem was my monitor, not the pics.

Maybe my problem was not my monitor but my glasses! Nonetheless, the selection for a parking lot is disappointing, to say the least.

Dan

To the OP, I see you live in Northeast Ohio. I saw this tree at Gale's in Westlake!!!!!! It had the exact same apple things on it. Go check it out!

thanks! i have a GALES in willoughby hills , since im in Chardon . ill check it out sometime.
