  It looks like a prunus. There are many, but Prunus  incisa kojo no mai is very similar, in flower at the moment, but slow growing.

  I agree Prunus incisa Kojo no Mai.
  It is slow growing but does get a fair size.
  The sparrows loved it and every year striped the buds/blossom.
  In the autumn it goes a glorious red.

  Thank you! I think that’s what it is. I hope it does grow to be big! The tree behind it needs to come down I think so that would be lovely 😊

  How nice when it goes red! I didn’t notice it last year but I’ll keep an eye on it this year, thank you 😊
