What kind of tree is this? Blooming now in central Missouri, USA.
Some trees look like this (more bush-like), while others look more tree-like.

Yes I agree with that one, beautiful and in flower in the uk at the moment. This one is small, others are very large. Beautiful blooms, hopefully that's a keeper? – Mar 14 '16 at 06:47

This isn't actually my tree, but one in the neighborhood that I am definitely considering planting when I get space. – Swagin9 Mar 14 '16 at 15:27

It's worth it for sure. Other small varieties also have more pink flowers. – Mar 14 '16 at 21:41

I would have planted it, if it had had wildlife value. – VividD Dec 08 '17 at 19:04

@VividD All plants have wildlife value. We need to get rid of bark and non decomposed mulches people use to 'combat' weeds! Plant only plants listed for your zone? – stormy Jan 24 '18 at 03:13
