I’m on a quest to figure out what kind of tree this is in my yard in Washington.
Here’s a view of the top of the tree from my bedroom window. The yellow blossoms are a real treat to bees. I can see them enjoying the nectar all over the tree top.
Right now these yellow blossoms are raining down steadily onto the lawn and back patio slab.
It’s hard to see them but all those little black dots on the yellow are bees…
I’m going to have to find me a tree specialist…an arborist?
Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.

Looks like a type of Ash tree Ellen. There are alot of species. But with what I can tell in the pic with the leaves … I would lean towards Black Ash, but I am not an arborist! We have one similar looking in our area, that’s why I say this.
Good morning Ellen B.,
whatever the tree is it sure is beautiful and I’ll bet it provides you with plenty of shade. I think it looks like Bilbo’s Party Tree :-). Could it have been planted by elves just for you?
Have a lovely Saturday my friend!

When you find out what kind of tree that is..do let us know!
You have a good weekend..enjoy the cooler temps! What a week…huh?!
I want to know too! What is it? Greetings Ellen!
Oh yeah, I’ve got one of those. It’s a Chinese Flame Tree. Beautiful little yellow flowers, turns into papery bougainvillea type pods, drops them everywhere, seedlings a few months later in all the places the pods have dropped.
Leave it to my favorite gardener to know :0)
We do get pods…
Thank you!!
It sure is pretty! Those branches of the yellow flowers would make a beautiful centerpiece! 😉
Great photos. I’m going to send this link to Quilly. Maybe OC will know.
Rabbit, rabbit!
I can see Nikki beat me to it. Flame trees are very pretty. Hope you like yours.
yes, those trees love to grow all over the place here too..I have too many to count on my place!
