This is a young tree that was planted a couple years ago. Is it possible to id from these pics?

What is your location? There are a few trees and shrubs with leaves that look like that, and yes dogwood is definitely one of them, but there is also a lychee lookalike that I have seen growing in the northeast USA that has very similar leaves as well. Hydrangea can also look a bit like that, but I don't think this is hydrangea.– EscoceMay 26, 2016 at 16:00

Looks like a dogwood to me, w the reddish leaves.

Now that there are photos of the flowers, it's very clearly a pink dogwood.
Here is another good link w images and description from a Kansas botanical garden.

I added a picture of a flower from a couple weeks ago. It only had the one flower and it is gone now. Does this help? May 27, 2016 at 18:53
