I have an update on this. This is actually called a buttonbush! National Arbor Day Foundation sent me the wrong thing but it is a blessing in disguise. These are classified as being profoundly beneficial to honey bees!!!
Love this tree! It's a Russian Dwarf Almond. After seeing it come up on Arbor Day for years, I finally bought one. No almonds, but bountiful funny little flowers that attract the heck out of any and all nectar seeking critters. I've seen it covered in bees, many gorgeous butterflies and even the occasional hummingbird. Unfortunately when I decided I needed another one or two or three I found that Arbor Day has discontinued selling them...
