What is this tree?
This fragrant tree is in a neighbors yard, and the sweet aroma fills the whole street! It is so pretty- can someone tell me what it is?

It could be many things, but a Black Locust tree or other Locust has wonderful scented flowers that look a whole lot like your pictures. https://www.google.com/search?q=blac...h=576&dpr=1.25

Is perhaps a lilac grafted onto a rootstock for tree growth and not woody shrub growth. it isn't a terribly easy photo to see the detail on. I think maybe a Korean/Japanese variety? or I could be totally wrong.

I know it is not a lilac--I grew up surrounded with lilacs! The flowers are about the size and shape of a man's thumb. I'll get a closer photo.
Also not crepe mrytle- I lived in Louisiana and love them. Last edited by JoParrott; April 24, 2019 at 10:27 AM. Reason: added info |

Could it be a Linden tree? There are many varieties, though your blossoms may be too dense for some Lindens.

Looks like a type of bird cherry AKA mayday tree to me.
Introduced to the US from Asia and Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prunus_subg._Padus |

It certainly looks like our native Prunus padus! (very pretty flowers and the berries can be used to prepare great tasting brandy/wine..)
