Walking through the grounds at Humber College I came across this tree that I thought was an Elm but after taking a closer look and doing some research I discovered that this is a Basswood.

On one of our walks this week we spotted this tree in the park and thought that the leaves were already turning colour. Upon closer inspection we discovered that pink colour on this unusual maple tree came from the keys.

This grand old oak sits on the edge of my neighbour’s lot. I don’t think anyone’s used that treehouse in over 30 years.
….just when I said I was done with flowering trees this happened in my neighbourhood
These trees are everywhere in Toronto. I thought they were simply called white lilacs but they are actually Japanese Lilac trees. They bloom from early to mid June but everything is a week or two behind. Thanks Becca for hosting Sunday Trees.

This is the last of the trees in my neighbourhood to bloom. After some research I’ve discovered that is an aesculus or horse chestnut tree.

Now that trees in the neighbour are blooming like crazy I actually had to choose one photo over another. This tree looks beautiful but the smell from the blossoms is nauseating. After some investigation I believe this tree is called the Callery pear tree. If anyone thinks it’s something else I would appreciate knowing.
