Name that plant

I have several of these small trees in my yard, blooming mid-late April, somewhat insignificant flowers, native? What is it please?

Hmm, thatÕs a good start. I will watch for fruit color after bloom. Thank you so much for your help!

Maybe one of the native dogwood. Sorrry I can’t tell which one this is. Check out one in the group the Cornus alternifolia. Fruits can also help you narrow down the species. Click on images to enlarge from the included link below. Best wishes! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornus_alternifolia
