I saw this blooming the other day (April, zone 6) I have seen this before, but don't recall what it is. Odds are high it's a fruit tree. The tree in question is about 12 feet high.
Thanks!! :D

Interesting, I just looked them up, I agree they are dogwood, but the colors on the picture are fairly accurate, they a were GREEN flowers. Is that an odd variety or just that they were not fully open or ripe or whatever yet?

They'll turn white when it's ready to receive pollinators, so yeah they're not ripe yet.

Dogwoods are good trees. Kousa and Cornellian dogwoods have nice fruit as well. I remember reading that native dogwood fruits were used as a diabetic treatment of some kind.

Yes :) They are neat trees. They are native here, I had only noticed white or pink flowered ones, (maybe yellows, I'd have to check my notes, I know there is one locally that took me quite a while to ID because it blooms very late and has odd colored flowers.)
I have three of the good fruited Cornelians in pots waiting for me to plant them :)
I'll look up the Kousa, not familiar with them, at least not by that name.
