Do you know what kind of bush this is?

We call that a Flowering Almond. I've never tried to root one, but they transplant easily and spread slowly, even here in Northern Michigan, though this year may be different with the lack of snow cover. I suspect the perennials are taking a beating with low temps and not much snow.

I am trying to root a couple of the branches both in dirt and water but would like to figure out what it is in hopes of purchasing one. (this one is in my neighbors yard) Thanks!

My mother had a Flowering Almond bush and was the background of toddler photos. Hers stayed in a neat mound shape and do not recall ever seeing other people having one. Best look at the yard next time I go by the house, has been sold after parents passed.
Thanks for the memories.

The ''flowering almond'' is correct name for this plant. We cut into the ground and cut away a section of the root with ;twig shoots; on it--transplant back into the ground and get a new bush started. But you can also buy a guaranteed plant at the nursery or elsewhere (I saw plants at Walmart).
