  • I see everyone thinks they're flowerbuds - but are they? They could be leaf buds which sit there till the time is right, your image doesn't magnify too well to see clearly... if they're not flowers, are the buds furry or fuzzy on the outside? And how big is the tree? Impossible to tell from the image, can you add another photo that displays the whole tree so we can see growth habit please?

White/pink flowers before leaves, combined with the light spotty bark on the new shoots indicates a Magnolia. Possibly a star or saucer magnolia, hard to say at this point.

    I think this might work? Aesculus hippocastanum or Horse Chestnut. Were you able to see any leaves lying on the ground?



    flower bud of A. hippocastanum



    branches of A. hippocastanum



    the tree Horse Chestnut



    stuff on the ground somewhere

    • It's not likely to be a horse chestnut growing in New York, unless that picture was taken 9 months ago. The buds sometimes don't burst until April in the UK, and never before March.

    • In London UK, horse chestnuts usually in flower late April or May, well after the leaves have appeared...unlikely to be Aesculus if these are actually flower buds
