What is this tree whose annual flowering time is two weeks
sooner than last year? I've been photographing
the same trees for two years and this year was surprised
to see one tree bloom three days ago that last year
didn't bloom until April 25-26. And the similar tree next
to it that bloomed on April 20 last year hasn't shown any indication
of
blooming yet this year. See

From this distance it looks like a flowering plum tree. I'm in SW
Michigan, and everything here is blooming about two weeks early, too.
This is an honest-to-God early spring this year.
