Disregard my earlier comment, I believe this is a Prunus Subhirtella Autumnalis, or winter-flowering cherry. Normal for it to be flowering around this time, can even start as early as november.
Well that's reassuring, thank you !
So how does that work, does this tree just wait in full bloom for insects to wake up? (Not doubting what you're saying, genuinely curious)
They can sometimes have flowers as late as april, but usually they just don't get pollinated at all and don't produce any fruit. They're ornamental hybrids that don't exist in the wild, so they don't really need a viable way of reproduction.
Interesting, thank you for teaching me a thing!
