First one of the year - tree ID please

[Todd Burch]

Who can tell me what this tree is by the flowers? I'm thinking either flowering pear or dogwood. I took this picture a few years ago while in Albuquerque in a McDonald's parking lot. It was the most beautiful flowering tree I had ever seen.

Could you show a full view of the tree.

[John Shuk]

Doesn't look like Dogowod from the photos.

[Steve Rozmiarek]

Looks like crabapple to me. They are pretty.

I have no other pictures.

Im with Steve.. I think its some type of apple. Around here the dogwoods have a creamy yellow flower, larger, less dense.

I think it's a pear tree. I googled crabapple blossom (they are pink/red), dogwood tree blossom (they are 4 lobed) and pear tree blossom, and that matched the flower exactly.

not necessarily, I have a white flowering crab in my back yard.

ditto, can be many different shades. The pears I've been around have a lot less blooms per branch than a crabapple, and the bark was a lighter color. The blooms looked similar to the crab and regular apple blooms though, so could be.

The upright branching is more suggestive of one of the pears.

[Wes Mitchell]

Looks very similar to the pear trees we had at the orchard I worked at. They try very hard to grow straight up.

My guess is Bradford Pear. Very popular in commercial landscaping, but it has it's drawbacks. http://www.chapelvalley.com/blog-news/view/40-the-danger-of-bradford-pears

Definitely not a Dogwood.

Some type of Plum Tree was my gut reaction.

That branching looks just like my neighbor's Bradford pears and a google search of the blossoms looks the same. Did the blossoms "stink"? I hate the smell of Bradford pears when they are in bloom. We have a dogwood and those are not dogwood blossoms or branch structure.
