[Help] Any Gardeners out there able to help me identify this tree.

[Deleted member 2719]

It is without doubt a flowering Cherry (Prunus) as others have already rightly posted.
There is a dwarf Cherry I could highly recommend - Prunus Kursar.

My friend has one in her garden and it is a lovely small tree, currently in full flower and has the wonderful autumn colour later.

This.

How many people get sucked in when viewing trees or plants in their infancy, to find out year's down the line, they planted it in the wrong place, too close too a fence, hedge or shed.

I would always say unless you have half an acre forget adult trees, go dwarf all the way.
Check and double check what your buying.

Just been looking at this tree and the leaves look a little different?

I've tried to keep Bonsai's a few times and they are a bloody sight harder, more delicate and more temperamental than the real thing

The leaves may look different in that photo, but they will be almost exactly the same as the ones in your original photo come the autumn. They will be slightly smaller as it is a dwarf tree. I can assure you that it is beautiful in the autumn.

My gunnera manicata thinks it came from a place like this

After everyone's help in identifying my cherry tree and trying to find the most striking small, autumn tree i have decided to go for the 'Japanese Maple ‘Osakazuki’'



There is room for one more tree so will go for the Cherry Tree at the other end of the garden.

Thanks NSC

Take a photo to the arboretum at Brinsbury College, always very helpful and they'll sell you a dwarf one.

Good choice, here's my Acer from the gardening thread last year

That acer was a bargain buy in the winter at a garden centre with no label and no leaf about 10 years ago, at about 3ft tall. Grew it in a pot for 5 years, planted out about 5 years ago, now about 7ft. Here's pics

What do you think ?

It's at it's best a bit later in the year

I suspect it's Acer palmatum dissectum but beyond that

That Acer is a wonderful tree. If you can, plant it in dappled shade or at least out of full sun. This variety can roast up if you're not careful, and keep it well watered for at least the first two years.

Acers suffer a bit with wind burn as well. But, in dappled shade, protected from desiccating winds and well watered in free draining soil rich in a woodland mix, they have a fantastic range of colours

Fantastic looking acers

Fantastic looking acers

It's the same one, Summer and Autumn

Doh! just re-read. They are fantastic looking trees. Just not sure how they benefit the wildlife.
