Thundercloud Plum

Our Thundercloud Plum tree blooms at the same time as the cherry tree and is overshadowed by white frothy blooms of that tree just beside it. The blossoms of the plum are smaller and pinker than the cherry…and the leaves (purplish red) seem to come out more quickly than those of the cherry.  These pictures were taken on March 25^th.

I looked back at other posts about the Thundercloud plum and saw that the tree was blooming on April 12^th in 2013. That must have been a last spring because by April 12^th of this year the Thundercloud Plum was full of leaves with the flower petals gone for a couple of weeks.
