A small tree worth considering for its flowers and autumnal leaf colours. MikeCT |

Could be - almonds have pink or white cherry like blossom in early spring before the leaves. But could also be a winter flowering cherry Prunus subhirtella autumnalis, which has more scattered small pink or white flowers all through winter, or blackthorn (sloe) which is more of a large bush, with white flowers. If it's an almond, you can often find, either on the tree or under it, last year's almonds, looking rather like small flattened green peaches (the almond it the 'stone' of the fruit). If you're seeing them in rough ground, they're most likely to be sloes, in gardens probably almonds at this time of year and winter flowering cherry in January. -- Kay |

Not all news servers carry all posts efficiently, and sometimes also there are time delays where you see the replies before the original post. FWIW, I saw your original, and the replies. A lot of people use news.individual.net as a news server and when I changed to them some years ago I noticed a huge improvement in the number of posts I saw. They are not free any more, but at only 10 Euros a year they are excellent. You can use the news reader of your choice with them; you are not limited to Outlook Express which I see you are currently using. -- Sally in Shropshire, UK bed and breakfast near Ludlow: http://www.stonybrook-ludlow.co.uk Burne-Jones/William Morris window in Shropshire church: http://www.whitton-stmarys.org.uk |

A small tree worth considering for its flowers and autumnal leaf colours. I got one last year Mike and took it to what we term in the gardening club as 'The Top table' where we show off things currently putting on a good show. There were a surprising number of people who also had this shrub and all agreed how lovely it is and the fact that autumn colour is good too. Those that didn't have it left the meeting intending to get one very soon! It really is so pretty and so compact. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
