I wonder if anyone can enlighten me on what tree this might be please .

Thank you!

My guess is a flowering cherry, possibly prunus amanogawa ?

MrsDeeGarden

Ha! I have just searched that on google and I think you might have nailed it as always @AnniD
Thank you!

Hi All,

Help please! Are these suckers on my Prunus Amanogawa? I can't see any clear root stock and as you can see from the photo, a part of the low growing stem flowered.

Thanks for your help as always!

2nd pic seems to show graft just 2" from earth.
The bark changes colour.
Would suggest you remove all low growing shoots /just rub them with your finger to remove.
Watch for suckers below graft and remove asap...they will probably be wild cherry and will be very vigorous.
Prunus amanogawa is a colomnar/upright tree.

Thank you @Silver surfer
I will remove everything and anything beneath that graft. Should I leave the shoot with the flower in the second picture since it's above the graft or remove it as well?
