I didn’t know what kind of tree was in front of my childhood house. It stood nearly 3 stories above the ground, with heart shaped leaves and white flowers. I didn’t realize what it was until one appeared in an episode of This Old House – the Northern Caltalpa. Thanks to the Internet, I was able to confirm it.
