I am still in North Carolina, visiting my brother before he celebrates the first anniversary of his 29th birthday. We were in the backyard of his new house, trying to identify which trees are worth keeping and which ones are worth putting out of their misery. Can anyone identify this tree for us?

Are these dead flower blossoms that will be brilliant bursts of beauty next summer, or are they just signs that this tree is dying?
Thanks!
