It's a smallish understory tree growing in the woods and is bloom right
now in central New Jersey.

Some type of a viburnum, perhaps? They are more of a shrub than a tree, but
that's what your picture looks like to me.

The leaves appear to be opposite though I cant quite tell. They are a little
blurry as well, but im fairly sure that the plant is Viburnum lentago. Do the
flowers have a nice aroma??

I'm curious to know what this tree/shrub is, because I think it might be
the same thing I have at the edge of my yard (along fence). I'm in
central NY and it's barely starting to green up now... Branching of my
variant is similar to a lilac but nearer the top it's more densely
packed with finer stems. Mine does not have nice fragrant flower, and I
looked up Virburnum lentago and it's definitely NOT that (has no
drupes). AND, mine wasn't intended to be *mine*! It's invasive and
originated from the neighbor's yard. Sends up suckers all down the
fenceline and keeps trying to get out everywhere. :(

Eventually I let a clump live on this side for added privacy, but I
prune it every year to try to keep it under control... Silly new
neighbor thought her stands of it was lilac when she bought the house.

Any idea what this beast might be? If it helps, soil is sandy and
acidic, area is partially shaded (large pines very near it), zone 5, and
I've never seen any berry/drupe produced on it. Can't provide more
because it's dormant.

Pagoda dogwood, maybe?

The vein patterns on the leaves arent consistent with any species of cornus,
and it has opposite leaves. Pagoda dogwood has alternate leavesand flowers a
bit later.
I still say viburnum lentago.

I don't see any URL for a picture. If it is not a lilac it could be a privet,
which belongs to the same family.

I'm sure it's viburnum now. The leaves are opposite. There is a nice
aroma. I looked up viburnum in 2 tree and shrub books, and it may be
either viburnum lentago, or viburnum prunifolium (black haw). They seem
pretty close, but the black haw is listed as having smaller leaves, only
1-2". It's still early in the season so I'll decide once the leaves are
full size.

Thanks everyone.
