There are many brightly coloured flowering trees around Reston - in shades of pink, pale purple and white. At first glance they look rather like lilac but close up the flower is quite different.
We have one of these trees in the garden, but no flowers as yet - there are signs of flowers to come on the top - they will be white. They are referred to locally as 'strawberry trees'. They have a brown trunk/stem which peels, almost like a eucalyptus.
Ours does not look very interesting as yet..
The last time I photographed it was in the winter after our first 'ice storm' when the seed heads were completely encased in ice.
