Common Name: Silver Oak
Right now in full bloom. Our apartment complex is lined with this tree all around. The yellow flowers bloom in clusters attracting lots of birds and bees. The leaves are pale and have a silvery underside. These trees grow to a height of thirty to forty meters and some of the blooms are in the same level as my third floor. I have taken these with my 55-250mm lens. Even after cropping couldn't get more details. A 400mm lens would do more justice!
