    Possibly blackthorn - sloe. It has 5 petal flowers which bloom before leaves appear.

    I'd agree with @steephill. Looks like Blackthorn to me too.
    Mine is just starting to get a 'floral glow'  :)
    Did it have thorns?
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Yes it had thorns but not as evil as the “Berberis” ;-).  Thanks guys.
