I live in Alabama, and am a transplant from North Idaho, so I am still learning about Southern trees and flowers. The first tree that blossoms in the spring (it is blooming all over right now) is one that is covered in creamy white blossoms. I don't remember ever seeing any fruit on one of these trees later, so I think they must be an ornamental of some sort. I noticed there is one out in my yard (we moved to this house late last summer) , so I am going to watch it closely and see if it produces any kind of fruit, small or otherwise, but if anyone knows what kind of tree this is, I would love to know !
