hi guys, i got this tree out hte back, i am not sure what it is as it hasnt fruited but it has got these flowers on it, maybe possibly apricot? not sure. anyways just wondering if it is a prunus of some sort? it seems to have the ability of flowering profusely on a bare branch, the leaves look a bit diseased, i wouldnt be using that section of the tree anyways.

Yes jamie. The flower and leaves looks distictively Bailey Peaches'. But I could be wrong. If it is Baily, it's great for bonsai since the flowers are nice and fruits are small and this cultivar is very hardy. I got one that is about to flower soon.

I am guessing the flowers will come out from those but in less than 10 days. Will post it then jamie.
