A Tree Flowering In January

[Saddler]

I was out walking and I came across this tree flowering last Sunday. Can anyone identify it? I am hoping it’s an ume, but it doesn’t look like it to me. We are have normal weather so I doubt it is a really early bloom for the tree.

I see the chain link fence there so it seems like it would be a landscape specimen. The flowers look like honeysuckle, but it's hard to tell on my phone.

I think it is a viburnum.

I think it is a viburnum.

I think you are correct. I looked I up and found the flowers and description to match what I saw. Other then the winter flowers that is. Thank you.

The description I found after he said viburnum was on Montovia's site for "pink dawn viburnum". It says it blooms late winter to early spring. The picture is about spot on too.
