| This flowering tree has an amazing aroma. I ask our neighbor what it was and she said it was a red bud. I'm not sure sure as I live in a "red bud city - Columbus WI) and it's certainly not an eastern red bud.
Comments? Ideas?

| Thanks - our neighbors are ALWAYS buying plants thinking they are something else. I think they are now trying to get every tree that attracts Japanese Beetles. sigh!! They mean well but are clueless at times! But I love them! |

| Probable called it a redbud due to the red leaves budding out. Many many people think like that. Arktrees |

| Looks to be of the 'Newport' type (there is more than one kind of that type on the market). These are hardier and more tidy-looking than the purple-leaved cherry plums. But probably not resistant to the beetles, I suppose. |

| The aroma is amazing on them. They smell just like the silk factories I remember from my childhood. |

| So in addition to Japanese beetles, it might attract silkworms. |

| Having the Japanese beetle magnets in the neighbor's yard is a good thing as it helps keep them from yours. Giving Japanese beetle traps as Christmas gifts to everyone within a reasonable radius works, too. |

| LOL - our neighbors are constantly buying trees that are Japanese beetle magnets. They JUST planted two Linden trees!! sigh!! |
