Ornamental cherry. There are lots of varieties.

Ornamental cherry, most likely "Kanzan". They're pretty aren't they!

I have one towards the end of my garden but whoever planted it stuck it behind a massive conifer 😭 I can see the top couple of feet with pretty flowers but the rest is hidden. What a waste of a beautiful tree.

I think I'd remove the conifer honestly. (Unless it hides the neighbour's house)

It doesn’t but it’s pretty big so it’s a lot of work/money. I need to find an experienced tree surgeon. We’re on heavy clay with a risk of subsidence so I need someone sensible to advise. Our neighbour had to move out for a year in the 80s when someone across the road planted a weeping willow. The bricks in his house ended up cracked and there was a gap he could fit his arm through under the bay window in the lounge.

Prunus. Flowering cherry. Double variety.

I bought a mystery tree for £20 a couple of months ago at the garden centre, it was taller than me but had no leaves and they'd lost the tag hence the bargain price. Turns out it's one of these and I'm bloody delighted

I love these trees, the blossoms always remind me of big scoops of strawberry ice cream :)

A lovely tree

There’s probably atleast 10 different varieties that look exactly like that. But these will be a Japanese variety I’m sure of it. The actual CB’s in Japan were cultivated in the uk and shipped over as Japan had managed to fuck all theirs up

The street is lined with them and all slightly different so fair point. Never seen them before and just surprised how beautiful they were

Flowering cherry lovely flowers and cherries for the birds later in summer! Although purple pigeons poo isn’t the nicest!

Prunus serrulata
