Y'all please help identify this small tree

10 years ago

We live south of Eufaula on lake Eufaula. These small multi-trunk tree is blooming right now. Blooms only on branch tips. Pretty white clusters but for a short time they'll be gone. Seems to grow in the ravines in the woods.
Having a time identifying them. Any one know?

With clusters of small white flowers, it sounds like maybe a viburnum. Many of them do get 12 feet tall and could be grown as a multistemmed tree instead of a shrub. There are lots of varieties, though. Here is a link that might be useful: viburnum photos

I believe that's called Nandina Domestica. If it is, no worries about too much sun. Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.floridata.com/ref/n/nand_dom.cfm

I'd go with Duranta erecta which, depending on where you live, may or may not be winter hardy. It is not usually regarded as a house plant, afaik. It looks as if it was once trained as a standard but has been neglected. You could choose to re-establish the standard form or let it do its own thing. But either way I'd start by getting rid of the hideous green plastic strapping and trying to find some less egregious support for what is a fairly lax shrub.

It might be serviceberry, which is native to your part of OK, but not to mine, so I am just guessing.

Hmmm I was wondering if it was some kind of magnolia?

If they are what I think they are, they should produce an edible fruit.
Downy Serviceberry.

I am going to plant my tree that is in a pot free from the conservation service. That is pretty. This picture looks like your flowers.
