My Last Mystery Wood????????

Another strikeout...3 misses! OK, another obscure clue.................

1. It is not fruiting

2. It is tropical and not native.

Give it your "Sunday punch" (or best shot for you Yankees!) Should be easier now that you have guessed all the trees but about 6.

Well, only 2 guesses in the last 4 hours. This one really has you stumped. I thought it might. Well, maybe another clue will help. OK, another obscure clue.................

1. It is not fruiting

2. It is tropical and not native.

3. Tree (trunk and branches) has small but sharp spines. Difficult to handle when pruning.

That should help.
 
Tree reminds me a lot of Honey Locust but nope.

I'm gonna run out of obscure clues before someone gets it. OK one more clue..........

1. It is not fruiting

2. It is tropical and not native.

3. Tree (trunk and branches) has small but sharp spines. Difficult to handle when pruning.

4.A flowering ornamental.

I can't believe y'all are all around it but nobody has hit it yet.

Charlie....you need professional help, soon.

Tim, you're the closest so far.

Jason, your guess is also very close,

I got another clue but I'm gonna save it for later tonight if no one gets it. Y'all are all over it. How can you be so close and not get it.

Keep trying

black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia)

honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos)

peashrubs (Caragana spp.)

sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides)

buffaloberry (Shepherdia argentia)

lemon tree (Citrus limon)

That's all.
 
Well now y'all are just pulling names out of a hat or off the internet. Somebody guessed a pineapple. Now you know they don't grow on trees!!!!!

Do a little research online and you'll find this tree. Flower colors can be yellow, purple, pink, red and white like mine. BTW, this tree is a lot more common that many of your guesses. We are getting some pretty good milage on this thread. Hope you are all having fun.....now somebody put a name on it.
 
Well I actually WAS doing research on mine, and could've sworn I was right. Now you have humbled me. I'm down to Peony, Hydrangea, or Rose.


I hope its not crape myrtle because I had that in and erased it a while back lol

Jason, give it up. Your guesses are getting more bizarre. Soon you'll be guessing animal names. Crepe myrtle has been guessed to death and is still not right. And this is a tree. Peony, Hydrangea and Roses never get 4" trunks. The only clue left is to tell you about the leaves which I will do later tonight when I wake up for a pee. If that doesn't give it away, I don't know what will. When this is over I want to know how many people have one of these trees. They are all over south FL, numerous in the so. valley of TX and San Diego is overrun. This is a highly invasive plant about like Melalucca.
