Is this a tree or shrub?
Many fruit trees/shrubs are related and have very similar blossoms - like these! They remind me a lot of a shrub I had at a different house - we called it a double flowering plum.Whether or not it bloomed and how prolifically varied year by year, but when it did so it was beautiful. Very fragile blossoms - the tiniest wind and they are gone.
