Hi all
I have seen this beautiful tree many times this Spring and love the
flowers.
They smell very fresh and powdery.
It has red and green leaves and has strings of small creamy-white
flower that
tend to bunch. They can grow quite tall and from what I
have seen, they seem to
be dense trees. Thanx.
I hope you can see this image:

Do a Google image search on Pieris japonica. If I'm right, that looks like
a well-established and very happy specimen.

Thanx becca. The tree I mentioned has red leaves but it does look very
similar to the name you have mentioned.
I have googled the name "JAPANESE PIERIS" and managed to get this-

Much appreciated- I might be on the right track now!

The young foliage of Pieris is red. It will turn green later.
