I showed your pic to my husband, he thinks it might be Chionanthus retusus (Chinese Fringe Tree).

Looked it up... there are lots of different Chionanthus varieties, and two of them are deciduous (which this one probably was, based on how it looked a month ago) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chionanthusand one of those grows well in this area http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chionanthus_virginicusWhat do you think, scarlet? Is that it? The leaves look right, the size matches.... |

Yup, it's a chionanthus, I'd say.

"MrPidgeon"? That's going to go over well.  Okay, change that to "Thank you, O Grand Botanical Pooh-Bah." |
