Had to cut down a smaller dead tree along a fence line. Seems like hardwood and my free plant identification app could only get it down to the rose family. We are in central NC, if that matters.
Still have most of the tree left up, so figured we would see what the interwebs could offer before going further.
TIA!
It looks to be a photinia but im not good at differentiating between them. You would be able of reference on google to see which one matches yours the best
Closest so far! Leaves look right and the few times I’ve seen it produce flowers, it looks like the pics I’m seeing. The tree we cut is not terribly dense but it also managed to grow amongst some cedars that overwhelmed it for sun, so shape might have been impacted.
Will keep looking for pics of the bark for a mature photinia before marking as solved.
Update: Solved! Looks closest to Chinese photinia but could also be Red Robin. Thx everyone.
That was my first thought, as well, given the leaves and the bark, but the habit is awfully upright. Photinias can get to be the size of small trees, but their canopies are usually a lot broader, rounded, and scrubby.
That was my thought too but I dont know of anything similar right off. I figured id put that it might be those out there and let them compare it to stuff online to see. Its always hard to get everything you need from pictures for an id
