around here it's a flowering almond--although I've never seen a nut form!
|
All I know is it is pretty.

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.

We had one in our yard when I was a kid and my mom always called it a "Mock Almond".
|
Very pretty. They come up wild here, too, and we call them wild roses. They aren't exactly a rose, tho.

I have searched but can't find out the name of this bush. I have also asked and can't find anyone who knows. It is a small, twiggy little bush about two feet tall. It isn't full like a hydrangea bush, just thin branches like sticks. 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).

It looks like a double Azalea
