What is this tree please?

Was this tree planted or is it just one thats grown up at the side of the road?

 

This is at Cressage where there is a bridge crossing across the Severn.

Sorry to be such a bother but it is such a pretty tree.

ta,

Linda

 

I would go with the cherry consensus, although I wouldn't dream of being able to tell you which type. My guess would be its self seeded, possibly dropped by a bird or a stone thrown out of the window by a passing motorist!!

What I can do is show you a photo of my cherry tree, flowering now and give you all the details about it. It might be near enough to the one you've seen!!

its a cherry cerasus maynard mini stem patio terracotta ( so the label tells me!!)

its a self fertile, dwarf dessert cherry, black fruit. shouldn't reach more than 2 metres tall.

I planted it last summer and it looks like this now!

 

Thank you so much. Now to see about drainage and such in my friends garden.

Thanks to everyone for helping.
