Strange question I know but hoping some garden buffs can shed some light.....A prize for the winner!

any idea what this tree is (lives in my back garden) its flowering pale pink buds & its been here since we moved in back in august (we thought it was dead then!!)

Hi Phil,

It could be a flowering cherry tree,:D can you post a photo of a similar looking one.

Not sure what you might come up with if you Google "cherry" though.:rolleyes:

Oooh Phil that is freaky! Not the tree but the fact that the house behind it looks like mine! lol

Thanks Bro.....

Hmm i'm not even going to attempt to google cherry!! had a phonecall from my poor mum the other day she's doing a bit of landscaping in the garden & wanted some hardcore to put down for something.....someone told her to google a local supplier :eek:


Our tree looks similar to this one...although its very young & still quite small



Hope you & lady J are well?

Hi Phil,

We're both well thanks, still trying to encourage the youngest to leave home so we can start to plan a more relaxed future.:beer::cool::beer::T

I hope everything is ok with you, I do try and keep in touch but don't always have the time or the opportunity to log on and post.

That tree certainly looks like a flowering cherry and they come in all shapes and sizes. They graft an attractive flowering shrub onto a vigorous root stock and you end up with any number of different hybrids. They make a hell of a mess when they shed their leaves.

Ohh great! sounds like i'll have fun clearing up in the winter then!

life is very good at the moment had a few ups & downs but nothing that cant be sorted......hmm wait till the youngest goes out & change the locks? just a thought
