I have long been wondering what kind of tree it is that is home to the "red birdhouse feeder" in the cemetery. Last year when I posted about it, someone suggested that it was an olive tree. Now the tree is blossoming again, and also another tree of the same kind in a different part of the cemetery. So today I took some close-ups of the blossoms and uploaded those to Google Image Search/AI, which gave me this answer:
This plant is a Weeping Silver Pear (Pyrus salicifolia 'Pendula'), a popular ornamental tree known for its silver-green foliage and white blossoms in spring.
Flowers: It produces creamy-white, bowl-shaped flowers in clusters during mid-spring.
Foliage: The leaves are long, narrow, and lance-shaped, covered in a soft silver felt when they first emerge.
Growth Habit: This variety is known for its weeping or drooping branches, creating a distinctive aesthetic often likened to an olive tree.
Hardiness: It is highly tolerant of drought and heat, making it suitable for various urban environments and gardens.
