Looked at my trees. 5 on my property and 1 just on the neighbor's side of the fence (so I get half the tree and anything that comes from it -- that policy worked well for free pecans from another neighbor's pecan tree). Unfortunately, all appear to be male. So, pretty flowers and happy buzzing bees - but no fruit. There may be a female tree further on the neighbor's lawn, but no overhanging branches and I don't really know that neighbor at all. :( I will have to look for a female tree to plant. I have a good space for one.

Yes, Persimmon. It sure is flowering early!

Looks like Ninebark, Physocarpus opulifolius

@floral_uk z.8/9 SW UK if only I had the space to grow a new one elsewhere. I don't really have any full sun spaces and definitely not one for this shrub. I am trying to find a place to squeeze in a rose bush. Good to know that they can be started easy. My friend loves it and wants one. I will try to get her a cutting to start. @ken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5 I do like the snowball, but now that I know what it is, I see others that definitely have bigger snowballs. But that said, I don't think mine will do that as it does not get enough sun as you previously said. It pretty much just gets morning sun as it's on east side of house. I will try to trim it up a bit once it is done blooming. I love it but it is a little unruly at present. Thanks for the pruning videos. I'm a newbie gardener and pruning still makes me nervous.
