Thank you! I’m a huge fan of it. Got it on a big discount somehow. Flowered profusely even in its first year in the ground.

Ran into a lady that said this wasn't a flowering plum but a crabapple, beautiful tree on my neighborhood walk that smells so lovely this time of year when everyone is burning. After reading up on prunus mume, I feel like she is wrong and, it is in fact a flowering plum, mainly because the petals are round and there are no leaves with the flowers, its not a cherry because the flowers are on the branch and cherries aren't very pleasantly fragrant as plum. The bark on the tree doesn't have the horizontal lines of a cherry either. Anyone out there to educate me?
We have both a plum and crabapple in our yard, though both have white flowers. The plum blooms prior to leafing out, the crab after. Whatever that is, it sure is pretty.

I totally need a few of these. There are at least a couple dozen growing in yards around town, so I'm sure I wouldn't kill it immediately. It would probably suffer a long time before it died.
They're tough. The only sure way to kill them is overwatering.

Love the thorns with the flowers. Grow tent pic in case anyone wonders why there's three different sets of leaves.

Black locust?
About to find out if daffodil blossoms survive mid teens.

No. It'a a Vietnamese blue bell.
- Most daffodils can tolerate temperatures as low as -25°F (-32°C)
- Early blooming varieties may be damaged by temperatures below the mid-20s
