Flowering cherries

I have been admiring the flowering cherries over the past few weeks. Can anyone tell me the species of these early cherries? Thanks

 

Hi Rupert,
Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you'll find they are almonds not cherries. I think it's a little early for cherries to bloom.

 

My cherry is flowering at the moment - Prunus Shirotae Mount Fuji. Prunus Incisa is also out. I think a lot of the Japanese ornamental cherries do flower this early - perhaps not the "real" ones though.

 

The local cherry trees I pick from have been out since last week.

 

My Cooking Cherry is not flowering yet, but the cooking Plum is :thumb:

 

The cooking cherries I pick from locally are in blossom:



So are the eating cherries (a further 5 mins walk), damsons and cherry plums.

 

I think it depends on where you are in the country Rupert Bear.

I stand corrected. :DOH:We won't see ours on the island before the end of April.
