[ID] Street tree
Posted: March 11th, 2021, 10:00 pm
I cycle past this on my way to work, and I've been wondering what it is for a while.
It makes these little hanging inflorescences, which if i remember correctly are a bright purple color. In the second image you can see what they became over winter.
The leaves look like they're sort of ribbed and have serrated edges.
Start of spring now so it's just starting to sprout new leaves and flower buds.
They were completely bare through winter.
New flower buds, I think. They're roughly 10 cm long, and that's a very rough estimation.
This shows last years flowers/fruit which were a bright color but turned brown and crispy over winter. They were longer before, looks like half of it has fallen down. Most of them were completely gone.
Grey brown bark, a little fissured in places.
Didn't get a photo showing the habit, but they're street trees so surely pruned to this simple round shape.
Any ideas?
