ID for tree?

[antipodes]

There is a very beautiful tree in our park and I have often wondered what it was. Any ideas? I took a pic of it in bloom (the figure underneath is my daughter who didn't want her face in the picture!!!)

No one has any clues about my tree?

Umm...it is taken from the distance and you cannot really see any details, but my guess is that is some sort of flowering cherry, plum, almond or peach  =Prunus family

Is it possibly a Buddleia Alternifolia? I know you can grow them as a standard, used to pass a beauty in Hemel Hempsted....may be a  bit early for that, though....

Flowering cherry? Can't really tell without a closeup as well as the distance pic.

Is the colour in the pic true, because it is like Cheals Weeping but in a weaker colour.

Looks like a flowering cherry.

Funny, as I don't recall ever seeing any fruit on it come autumn, butthere are other (wild) cherry types in the same park. I think it may have also been very well pruned to give the excellent shape it has. Ace might have put his finger on it...
I will see if I can't get a photo of any remaining flowers.

Definitively not a buddleia alternifolia.
Can you remember the shape of the leaves?
Have a look under the tree .May be there are some left from last year that are not too rotten.

Its a Cherry Blossom Tree i recon

Can you give us the date the photo was taken?   I am not sure you get fruit on the ornamental cherries.   I have a winter flowering one and it never produces any seed.   

[ACE]

You do not get fruit you can eat on an ornamental cherry tree. The fruiting varieties have been hybridised over the years to get the types of cherries you eat. The same with the different ornamentals to get different colour blooms. Also with grafting you can get the weeping types and as I said earlier this tree is Cheals Weeping Cherry. Here is a pic from the internet of another which should settle the speculation.



Now the burning question is where can I get one.
