Prunus cerasifera
Late blooming beautiful flowers of the dark leaved cherry plum tree.
used as an ornamental tree in gardens but many are growing wild as was this one by a railway line. This species is native to Europe and Asia.
The flowers, leaves and berries of this cherry plum tree are all beautiful although the tree without the leaves in winter is not attractive. It is a wonderful sight to see the morning sun shining through the leaves of the prunus tree !!
