Help me identify this plant please. It's some kind of small cherry (prunus) but I'd like to identify the species as this one is in a neighbour's garden and I'd like one for mine. Thank you.

Ok @deborahscott can you walk me through it please? I'm thinking that oncw I've asked permission, I need to cleanly cut a piece about 6 inches long with leaves at the bottom, remove the leaves, dip in rooting powder and plant in compost. Is that right? Tips appreciated.

My suggestion would be to go to your local garden centre , show them this photo & im sure they will know the exact tree your after @houseofflowers 😘

@houseofflowers The best one for bark effect is P. serrula, but has white flowers • The next best is P. sargentii which could be the one in the picture; it is the earliest to flower and first to show autumn colour
