| CMoxon Urbandale, IA Zone 5a May 8, 2008 | I am not sure if this is a native Iowa tree or a deliberately planted tree. The blossoms are extremely fragrant, especially in the evening. Anybody know what it is? Claire

| Nedhudson1 Thorne Bay, AK Zone 6b May 8, 2008 | Looks more like an apple tree to me-Look at the leaf clusters. |
| gldandrews Andrews, NC Zone 6a May 8, 2008 | I agree with Ned. |
| drsaul Hereford, TX Zone 7a May 8, 2008 | I too think it's an apple. |
| CMoxon Urbandale, IA Zone 5a May 8, 2008 | Wow, that magnolia is a gorgeous tree. I think my flowers are quite a bit smaller though. I wish it was a magnolia! I didn't even think they would grow here. Here is a pic of my tree from a bit of a distance. I don't think it's quite the same form of flowers.

| CMoxon Urbandale, IA Zone 5a May 8, 2008 | Ah, an apple! That would be nice too! So I will have to watch for fruit. Could it be a crab apple or do you think it's a real apple? |
| plantladylin East Central, FL Zone 9a May 8, 2008 | I found this list of apple varieties good for Iowa ... maybe it is one on this list: [HYPERLINK@www.ipm.iastate.edu] |
| CMoxon Urbandale, IA Zone 5a May 8, 2008 | Wow, what a great list. Even if I can't figure it out, at least now I know what kinds of apple trees I should buy in future! |
| Nedhudson1 Thorne Bay, AK Zone 6b May 8, 2008 | It's definitely not a crab apple,so a real apple it must be.Looks like you'll get some fruit. |
| CMoxon Urbandale, IA Zone 5a May 8, 2008 | Fabulous! Thanks, all, for your help! Hopefully I'll be able to post pictures of my fruit in the fall! |
| Nedhudson1 Thorne Bay, AK Zone 6b May 8, 2008 | That would be great. |
| Resin Northumberland (UK) Zone 9a May 9, 2008 | Might be a pear, rather than an apple. Resin |
| CMoxon Urbandale, IA Zone 5a May 9, 2008 | Oh! Well that would be great too! I suppose that only the fruits will tell.... |
