In our front yard we have three trees alongside our driveway. When we moved in to the house they had dark brown--almost black--leaves. They were pretty and got a little redder before dropping their leaves in the fall. To my surprise, as they sprouted leaves this spring, they came in bright green, and soon after, pretty white cones of flowers began blooming. So now I'm really curious...what kind of trees are these? The previous owners of our house were adventurous with plant purchases to say the least (there are odd plants all over the yard--so this may become a regular installment on my blog :)), so I don't even know where to begin.
Are any of you out there familiar with this tree?
In the spring it looks like this:
And it looks like this in late summer/early fall:
The leaves were dark when we moved in to the house in June (but last year's spring came a bit earlier than this year's).*Update* My current guess is that these are ornamental plum trees.
