    This one is within this area of bushes I have and it's very pretty, but I do not know it's name. Anyone out there know it?

    Reminds me of the chokecherry bushes we had when I was a kid. The fruit was tempting but oh so bitter! :smt005

    It doesn't produce cherry type fruit that the birds eat. They are very small so it could be.

    It definately looks like Prunus padus. It's my sow-outside-alarm. I've learned that when it blooms the soil is warm enough for us to sow directly outside. I also plant annuals once that tree blooms.

    That's such great info Droopy. I was just telling DH that I think it's getting warm enough to put seed out. Thanks for the info.
