    Can you put a better picture up please, preferably a good close up of the foliage and blossom?

    I can't manage to turn the pic either, although it still wouldn't be clear enough.
    Some close ups, as @Uff says, will help with an ID @prenn :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    It looks very like an apple but, as has been said we need to see a close up of the individual flowers and some leaves please @prenn.

    Thanks for all the quick replies, I'll get a close up if the flowers and leaves and add it to the post shortly!

    Most cherry blossom has gone. Definitely not hawthorn which is in full bloom at the moment. Probaly some type of malus (apple).
    Happy Gardening

    @alexryzawlskiqBU-X4OF Depends where you are - in my area (central belt of Scotland) hawthorn isn't out yet, and cherry blossom is still going strong! So a location might also help.

    But it definitely isn't hawthorn blossom, and doesn't look very much like cherry to me either.  I think it's an apple which has been hard pruned some years ago, put up a lot of water-shoots and now the watershoots are mature enough to blossom, and are doing so enthusiastically.  

    We'll know when we see a close up of the blossom and leaves.

    @Dovefromabove totally agree, was just making the suggestion location affects timing of blossom :smile:
