It's got weeping growth and flowered before getting leaves.

This photo was old, the tree now has nothing, no flowers and no leaves, could it have died?

I don't know what it is but it may have died if there are no leaves and it didn't bloom. An easy way to tell is to scratch a branch with your fingernail or something else with an edge that will lift a little "skin". If it doesn't scratch or is brown underneath, its dead. If it green underneath, it alive and taking it time.

Looks like a weeping cherry, but hard to tell from far away. Any chance you could take a photo of the leaves and branches close up?

My apologies, I read this wrong!! You can't take any photos. (Didn't have my glasses on.....my bad)

So here's the deal. Weeping cherries can be damaged easy. If you spray roundup, there's a high probability if you hit a shoot that grown up out of the ground that it will kill the tree. I know....from experience.

The weeping cherries are also latecomer in the spring, so I would wait a few more weeks and see what happens. You wouldn't have any leaves yet, probably just buds forming if anything.

I wondered about weeping crabapple. But it would actually be helpful to have a picture of the twigs taken now, even without leaves, because we could at least see if they are alternate or opposite which could aid in eliminating some possibilities.

Crabapples leaf out and then flower. Cherries: some leaf out first and some flower first. It does look like a cherry.

Give it the scratch test.

I scratched it and all I see is brown. The lower branches are dry and broke off. Last year during the dry summer the tree never got watered plus all chemicals were dumped by it, so it probably killed the whole tree. 😕

Crabapples can flower either before the leaves or with the leaves.

Sounds like its a goner. And it was so big!

That's too bad. When we accidentally hit the shoot with roundup, just part of the tree died. Then a little more, and eventually it was a totem pole and we had to remove it. They're kind of dainty compared to other trees but they sure are pretty when they flower.

What kind of tree? A dead tree. Too bad, it was very attractive!
