The other day, my wife and I watched a couple of yellow-blooming trees in the neighborhood being worked by numerous honey bees and bumble bees but can't figure out the trees' name.
The trees are about 30-ft high and are similar to evodia (the bee bee tree) in shape and leaves except that the leaves' edges are a bit serrated. The blooms are small, bright yellow in conical clusters. The trees are blooming right now - 2nd half of July - in lower New York state (zone 7/8) when the nectar flow is practically over in this neck of the woods.
Would anyone know the name of this ornamental tree? I'm thinking of planting 1 or 2.
Also, is there more than one variety of the tulip tree?
Thanks!
