Ok, on the past weekend, we passed a large bush that was in full flower, the flowers out, but the leaves still in bud and we snagged three nice branches and then snagged some fresh willow branches and into wet paper towel and a baggy till they got home and I am working on rooting them out.. well the willow will root for sure, we will see about the bush..

I can clearly tell that its a fruiting bush and I figured that it would be fairly easy to dig out what kind in my different books but I in fact a little huh.. it fits a couple different ones but its not quite right on any of them and there is no chance that I am going to head out that far way on the other side of the city later this season to figure it out.. I can of course hope that it will in fact grow and find out that way but I figured it would not hurt to ask if any of you can take one look and tell what it is..

I have it narrowed down to the red cherries prunus spp family.. but the leaves should have been out before the flowers.. the flowers remind me of Saskatoon but the leaves are wrong from what I know.

Put the photos out on my wild edibles group and they came back with service berry (and its not that, I know my saskatoons) or wild plum.. well dang, compared it to my own current in full bloom plum tree’s and its a perfect match, now I hope more then ever that one or all of them will root out.. three wild plum bushes to be added to the food forest sounds just perfect to me!
