I'm not sure if you are referring to me, but I am aware of that. The tree pictured is the same, no fruit only blossoms. But becasue of the leaf shape and color, combined with the time of the bloom, I wasn't sure if it was a cherry or plum tree. Ornamental plum blooms earlier than sakura, but this tree was blooming at the same time as the sakura while resmebling a plum tree. This year it will likely bloom even later because of the unusal amount of snow we have had. We had a few inches earlier this week that didn't melt off the trees for a couple days. It probably means instead of a mid April bloom for most of the sakura we will get a late april bloom unless the weather heats up drastically.
