I tried searching for other people asking about trees with pink buds, but couldn't find anything. Maybe if I saw it later in the year I'd know but right now I'm stuck. I keep seeing it in Chilliwack and my brother found it on the island. I am terrible with trees. Out of focus on the buds in front I know. I think this link is a picture of the same thing. Unfortunately they didn't know its name either! http://updatesfromthefield.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/wk-8-tree-bud.jpg
