Dogwood, you can tell by the bark.

*Bradford Pear is what I think, considered invasive in some areas.

White Perch. You can tell by the roots.

I have planted dozens of them, maybe a hundred. Check out the DC cherry festival

Maraschino cherry for sure...   Although I would lean toward Dogwood.

A pretty one with white blossoms. Glad I could help you out.

Download Google Lens on your phone. It's an add on to your Google Browser. You take a picture od=f almost anything and it gives you the likely culprit. I use it all the time for flowers, bushes, and trees.

Thank you for that info! I have several foundation plants added over the last 42 years and while we probably knew their names we have forgotten. Some I’d just as soon grub out with a hoe or spade! But others we would really like to add similar such plants.

Now before those desirable plants are gone from the local nursery I will do my best to identify them! THANKS for your help!

My wife has an app on her phone called ‘picture this’.  You can take a pic of a plant and the app will identify it and tell you all about it.  I highly recommend the app -  we use it all the time when on walks or hikes and come across something we aren’t familiar with.

I agree with @alaskanassasin. It’s definitely an oriental cherry tree of some variety

Ita similar to Bradford pear, but lucky for you it's not. New subdivisions like them because they grow fast, but then they split in half as the rot in the trunk and make a mess.

It's a flowering cherry. The bark makes it easy to identify as a cherry.

If you are after the Bradford pear look without the weak branches check out the Cleveland pear, same tree basically but more upright growth. If you get a chance smell the flowers of either, they smell like rotten eggs!

It sounds like it's cherry. Start sharpening the axe!
