Hi all

My husband is a postman and delivers to a relatively poor area in our city but tells me this beautiful tree gladens his heart on his round 

Can you let me know what it is - many thanks experts

    Its hard to tell from the the picture but it could be a cherry or a crab apple tree.

    It's gorgeous, looks like a cherry to me, but there are lots of different sorts, edible and ornamental.

    Could it be hawthorn?

    Ask your hubby to get a close-up of the flowers and any foliage opening out and also a bit of stem.  That'll help identify it.
