I've had this tree in my garden for years, its appears to be doing well,

the
pictures I have of a Japanese Apricot don't look anything like my tree,
also this one has no fruit ?


Is japanese apricot Prunus mume?


Loquat is sometimes called that, because the fruit is apricot-like.

Definitely not a Loquat, Nick. I have a large one in my garden. The leaves
are evergreen, large, long and corrugated. The flowers are white, usually
appearing in autumn. I agree with Kay; its a Prunus subhirtella
autumnalis-rosea - probably just a better form than usual.
