Mystery!

Along the back of my property line grows a thin and neglected tree/hedgerow.   Good bird habitat, and otherwise an eye-sore except for one or two very stalwart, untended and overgrown early flowering shrubs. They are also eye-sores most of the year, but startling lovely in early and mid-spring.    Other than to whack back seedlings, saplings and some privet to get them out of the way of the shed when we built it, I have ignored what I think of as my live brushpile. Strolled out just before dark to look at how strongly maeve's pulmonaria (sp?) was emerging, and noticed two, and only two, fat, pink flower buds on a little sapling. About 6 ft. tall and no more than 1/2 inch thick at the base. Tiny leaves sprouting all up and down it. My first guess is a cherry sapling of some sort, planted by bird droppings. I'll let you know when the buds open.
