When the tree produces fruit sometime and they are donut shaped,then the variety may be this one.

I would be very happy if it was “Flat Wonderful”! I almost bought one just last week when I saw one on sale. It does look like @Olpea’s picture. I don’t remember the leaves on mine turning green - but I suppose I wasn’t paying much attention either.
And because this is the “buds flowers and fruit” thread here is a picture of a flower from my yard today:

My California bay laurel (Umbellularia californica) is behind last year’s flowering by a bit, but looks like it’ll get there soon, the panicles are opening and expanding:

The shape of the leaves definitely looks like peach, nect. or almond leaves. Based on your locale, I’m pretty sure it’s not almond.
There are some peach seedling rootstocks which produce very red leaves, so be aware of that. For sure Flat Wonderful produced red leaves. I got rid of my one Flat Wonderful after about a decade. I really wouldn’t mind planting a few more because they were reliable and tasted pretty good.

The interspecific nectarine-plum hybrid “Spice Zee nectoplum” looks a lot like that. Maybe that’s what yours is or perhaps a chance offspring between an ornamental plum and a peach/nectarine
Looks like Blue Flag, Iris versicolor.

Thank You, I don’t know what it is, it’s hard to get rid of this Iris.
The yellow version of this (Yellow Flag) has been deemed invasive in NY, so I’m not surprised. Around here you see some swampy areas just covered in Yellow Flag. I actually have both Blue and Yellow Flag in my ornamental beds, but they’re well behaved in my sandy soil. However, I make sure I clip the heads after bloom and dispose of the seed pods, they’ll scatter seed readily.

No flowers or fruit yet… but uncovered my monster chicago hardy fig today… it did survive the 3F low we had this winter. A little scratch and Green.
Our next 10 days includes a nice warm up. Time to wake this baby up.

Walked the woods this evening… found no fruit (morels)… dogwoods are in early bloom… but we just had a cold spell… raining now and next couple days… supposed to get 80 degrees Thurs/Friday… that should do it. May find some this weekend.
Not much happening in the woods here yet but did find one wildflower blooming.
My backyard crabapple doing ok despite mid 20s the last two nights. Love that initial deep red color … they eventually turn pink.

Amazing that you guys are getting blooms already. First thing to bloom here is the wild pin cherries, and they’re not going to show up until May.

It’s been very warm Jan/Feb for much of east coast USA and blooms are happening weeks earlier than normal.
Also, my ornamental cherry bloomed earlier than pin cherry.
