Identify this pink flowering branch for me?

What is this? Grown locally in Vancouver.. would love to know what it is.

Thank you!

 

Flowering quince ? Chaenomeles

 

Don't think so... doesn't look like any Chaenomeles I've ever seen.

 

Ok, would be nice to know. Sure is floriferous. Almond?

 

Flowering quince is always orange-toned. This is probably a fruit tree of some sort. As a Vancouver resident myself I am so overdosed on flowering cherries and the like that I rarely look closely at them, but it could even be one of those.

 

Not sure what this is, but just wanted to point out that flowering quince are not always orange toned; they come in pure whites, pinks and reds. (Try an image search for some of the beautiful varieties on the market now.) I don't think the flowers look right for Chaenomeles though.

 

Prunus glandulosa? Almond

 

That looks more like it! Flowering Almond.

Do we all agree???

 

Prunus glandulosa 'Sinensis'.

 

Looks well positioned. KarinL - "Vancouverites intoxicated by cherry blossoms", would make an interesting headline..

 

Does anyone know where I could buy a Prunus glandulosa tree? UBCBG shop sell them?

I know, I know, call around ;) I'm just being lazy.

 

Megami, If you're not successful with The Shop in the Garden or others, maybe try www.derrysorchardandnursery.ca . Got a nice Prunus mume when she was selling at the Van Duesen spring sale a few years ago [subtle plug}..

 

Hi,
Prunus glandulosa is actually a shrub that has a very similiar growth habit to May bush (spiraea). It's a stunning plant when managed properly.

 

I just wonder if it might not be Prunus triloba, rather than P. glandulosa?

 

Hard to tell , need a closeup . P. triloba, doubly serrated leaf margin. P. glandulosa, serrulate

 

here's a close up of the leaf

 

I'm sticking with P. glandulosa, as the leaves seem consistantly serrulate and the flower size is a tad small for triloba.

If it is glandulosa and Chimera hasn't found a supplier. Springtime is perfect for layering some stems for autumn harvest.
Cheers

 

Thanks for the correction Eric. Even the orange varieties are beautiful; invasive though they are. Don't know if the snazzy new cultivars are less prone to suckering.

 

You have a wonderful flowering Almond.
