Michelle Your question piqued my curiosity! So I did some research and I am pretty sure now that this is a Kwanzan cherry, for two main reasons: Its flowers are double, and the leaves come out before the blossoms.
Here are some close-up "shots" of its flowers, that I took some years ago. Our tree is probably 30 feet tall, now, and so hardy! A real beauty!
In contrast, the Yoshino cherry tree is almost white.

added by Kit Pollard to Inside My Closet: Pink and Green Everywhere

Pink and green is a natural color combo outside. We have a tree in our front yard that looks just like this - for about two weeks a year. For the next two weeks, it looks like we've had a pink snowstorm just in our yard.

added by Lily Gahagan to Thinking Spring: Blossoming Branches

If you're lucky enough to have your own cherry, peach or other blossoming tree, clip a few branches for indoor use as soon as the blossoms get fat or start to bloom.

added by Samantha Schoech to If This Bloom Were a Room

The real deal. A tree in full bloom needs no special backdrop.

Prune trees and shrubs. Lightly prune summer-flowering trees and shrubs, like oleander and crape myrtle, for shape. This is not the time to do a "hard" pruning to remove a lot of growth — your goal is to remove anything that is dead or diseased, plus growth that is at an odd angle or towering above the rest of the plant. Never "top" trees and shrubs by giving them a crew cut — this ruins the plant's form and ability to grow properly.

June pruning: Distinguishing traits. A desert native, Texas mountain laurel possesses survival traits necessary to thrive in an arid climate while exuding characteristics of plants from much more temperate regions. Naturally spreading and shrubby, it can also be trained as a multistemmed upright tree. Dark green compound leaves cover its branches year-round, but its early spring blooms make Texas mountain laurel shine. Reminiscent of wisteria flowers, drooping clusters of violet-blue buds abound in midwinter. The flowers have been described as smelling like grape Kool-Aid or other artificial grape products. A relatively short bloom time leads to summer seed pods. If possible, remove the seed pods before they open in order to prevent the poisonous seeds from dropping.
