Please help me identify this flowering shrub/small tree
Comments (3)Yes: Prunus mume. Might be 'Peggy Clarke'. You can tell Japanese apricot right off by the buoyant carnation fragrance it produces....See MoreTall Shrub/Small Tree, small white flowers
Comments (15)Joe - Nah. Not an Amelanchier. Foliage is not quite right, and Amelanchier flowers have skinner petals. Carol - that could be it. Definitely something in the Rosaceae family, I think. My only hesitation is that this garden was neglected for quite some time, is overrun with lonicera (both vines and shrubs), berberis, Euonymus alatus, etc. And these shrubs are covering an entire side of the suburban yard. It looks like they've been there for a while, and they're taking over along with the rest. Has P. villosa been around for a while? Does it show invasive tendencies here?...See MoreFlowering Cherry Tree Kit (Prunus serrulata)
Comments (3)Agree there is nothing to be gained by waiting. Worry about the rest of it after the seed germinates - if it ever does - and actually grows some. Good luck. Dave...See MoreMystery Flowering Shrub/Tree
Comments (3)Thanks for the help! The flowers look remarkably like both suggestions, but going from the leaves it looks overall more like the dwarf almond than the cherry. I'm really glad to know what it is! With a name to go from I was able to find out what light/water conditions it likes best and moved it to someplace more sunny. It's producing lots of new growth so I guess it's happy. Thanks again for the help in identifing this little beauty!!!...See MoreRelated Professionals
