We just bought a house in Portland, OR (Zone 8), and unfortunately the people we bought it from didn't have any clue what they'd planted in their garden -- so we don't know either.
So far, the biggest mystery is a couple of young fruit trees in the back yard that have recently budded and sprouted flowers -- in the middle of October! I think they're some kind of cherry, based on the toothed leaves and semi-double flowers, but I'm not even 100% sure about that.
Can someone who knows more about trees than I do look at these pictures I took today and tell me what these are? And should I be concerned that they're blooming in October?
