Tree ID

Can any one tell me what kind of tree this is. I took some cuttings from it the other day, but know nothing about it.

This tree does get very small pink flowers on it in early spring.
I tried to post a pic of the whole tree but it ends up too large

No, thats not it. The flowers are way smaller than that. Is there a good site where I can look through photo's?

Pete, looking at the leaves and the full tree and hearing that it has small little flowers I have a thought. You live in an area not that different than mine, Zone 5b/6a... I have a purple leaf plum in my front yard. The tree looks very much like yours. The flowers are very small pink to white in color and the leaves although not exactly the same are very similar. I would look in this direction.

Jay, you are right. It's some sort of purple leaf plum. Do you know where there is more info on these, or pics as bonsai? The pics I found were of trees used in landscapes.

Pete, I will check for more info. As for my own knowledge, it is a landscape tree. But remember, it does not hurt to try. Most Bonsai were landscape of wild trees! The flowers are real nice...and small. I have thought of doing a layer on mine but have not as of yet. Let me know of how yours goes!
