The subject in the photo above is a small tree that stood about four or five meters high. The tree had very few leaves but was covered in the little pink blossoms that you can see in the photo. I have no idea, but do you perhaps know what kind of tree it may be? Please leave a comment below if you do!

Cherry blossom? Spring in the western Cape must be beautiful. Friends there tell us that the wildflower show this year is very good.

Post authorOh hey, Craig, I think you’re right! I’ve heard of Cherry Blossoms, but never seen them – or so I thought. They’re awesome!
I’ve been meaning to take a drive up the West Coast to see the flowers – but alas have thus far not managed to get out there!

That might also be a plum tree. I’m not sure. What does the full tree look like?

Cherry blossoms they are!

Post author@mjw – The tree was kinda woody – sticky. The whole tree looked more or less like the section in the photo. The whole tree was a little shapeless though.
I can see why you’re thinking plum – my parents had a plum tree once and the flowers did look remarkably similar to these.
Thanks Alka – I’m now not sure… Cherry Blossom or Plum – I found pics on the web that make them look so similar!
