Willow leaved Pear/Pyrus salicifolia

A good example of spring blossom, coming just before the crab apples and in time with some of the cherries and crossing over with the end of the magnolias. Can be a scrappy looking twiggy tree because of it’s pendulous habit and angular growth, some attempt to counter this through clipping, but best left to it’s own devices I think, if you have space that is. Grey green willowesque foliage follows.
