Many random thoughts here…
Wow, what a lovely tree David; so many flowers and so HUGE! How old is it? What sort of tree is it, a cherry perhaps? (And what happens to all of the fruit she must bear?)
You have fruit trees in bloom already? What zone are you there?! (We had a snowstorm here yesterday – a bit of a fluke for April – where they were calling for 25-30mm of rain and (only the chance of) 2cm of snow but instead we had well over 2 inches of this incredibly heavy, wet stuff blow in from the north-west and totally blanket everything!):):
Loving your cherry tree: )

Yes, cherry or something in that family. We don’t get a good enough season for fruit in the open – maybe in a walled garden. Mostly the trees are ornamental. We’ve had trees in bloom for a few weeks – We are 52 degrees North and warmed by the Gulf Stream – people sunbathing near our house 😊 – the advantage of Cambridge over Edinburgh… You have snow! Was that very unusual for the time of year?

No, snow this time of year is not usual… “April showers bring May flowers” is more the norm; )

Oh, and we are 44°N (but no Gulf Stream; )

Yes, the cherries bring them out (people). They are ornamentals, don’t bear fruit.

*sigh* Such a waste of all that blossom!
There’s also the possibility that it’s a Bing or some other type that requires another of its own kind for cross-pollination?
