If it's a trumpet tree it's not supposed to have ANY leaves on it at the time it's in bloom. It drops all its leaves for winter and grows all new leaves each year after the tree has bloomed and then dropped its blooms. That's how I know it definitely isn't a rhododendron because rhodos are evergreens that always have big leaves on them year round.
I also agree that it isn't a cherry tree. The blooms on the tree are trumpet shaped with pink petals and red throats. There are some like it shown on the google images link I posted above.

But I know the overall shape of the tree -- packed with pink blossom and no leaves -- does exist. They planted this type of tree at the McDonald's parking lot in Cloverdale, CA. It's a stunning view.
I wonder how long the trumpet tree blossom lasts. At first search wiki page does now say about this.

Thanks for posting that. What a beautiful video. That tree is shown a few times in the video from different angles, and there are shots of pink flowering cherry trees and magnolias too. Having seen the pictured tree from several different angles and with more detail I feel more confident that it is a pink and magenta trumpet tree.
According to the following site apparently trumpet trees bloom abundantly for around 3 weeks in spring and some other sites say it also sometimes blooms less fully for short periods at other times of the year too: https://www.emeraldgoddessgardens.co...roducts_id=164
zoisite Is that the tree in the Washington, Dc., area that I have seen many times? Thank you,
Sasie I don't know. I've never visited Washington DC so I don't know what you're seeing there. Next time you see it there maybe you can take a picture and post it for someone to ID.

Sasie must be referring to the annual Cherry Blossom in Washington DC. Washington is not known for any other trees except the one Washington chopped down.
Those are genuine Japanese cherry trees, gifted to the US by Japan in 1912.
this one is gorgeous and reminds me of some I've seen around here, like a cherry blossom but darker and fluffier. not sure if it's a type of cherry or this type.

The tabebuia ipe blooms once a year with blooms lasting 4-6 weeks starting in January. It is a beautiful tree and every year when mine blooms people stop to comment or ask the name. It has provided a backdrop for so many photos of my foster dogs for their listing, I set them right on the blanket of delicate fallen blooms.
Here’s a video so you can get a closer look at the blooms.
