It looks like a Prunus that we get that changes from white flowers to pink as they age. Can't think of the name at the moment. Or maybe it could be a manchurian pear but that would need to be double checked as I think there is some confusion in what Bonsai people call manchurian pear and everyone else calls manchurian pear :palm: :lol:
Otherwise I would have siad apricot as well.
Has anyone siad crab apple yet?

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

If only I could remember the name of it, was given a small one last year and am growing on as a multitrunk, its awesome to see the flowers I can expect in years to come.

Looking forward to finding out which Prunus so I can add it to my records.

I have seen this species given the names of three different fruits (common names), of course two of them are wrong.
These are
"bush ........"
and
"Chinese ............"
