Anyone know the name of this tree? I saw it on a walk and love the colour of the flowers.

    I think it’s Hibiscus

    East facing, top of a hill clay-loam, cultivated for centuries (7 years by me). Birmingham

    Hibiscus usually flower later in the year assuming it's a current photo.
    Maybe some form of mallow perhaps but not sure

    Interesting, the way the buds form makes me think Abutilons. Could it be an Abutilon Vitifolium shrub? They are reasonably hardy.

    Have a look at Abutilon x suntense https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/91091/Abutilon-x-suntense/Details . It's supposed to flower in summer but the warm weather a few weeks ago could have brought it on early.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
