It will probably smell very pleasantly of...wait for it...orange blossoms. There are a few Philadelphus without scent (P. inodorus is native to the eastern US), but the scented forms are more common as garden plants.

I’m vetting the fence will rip eventually. Based on what I have seen while shopping deer exclusion products plastic deer fencing does tend to be made and sold for seasonal use such as protection of warm season vegetable plantings. And not intended to be left in place throughout the year, for years at a time.

in our MI ... mid march might still be snow time ... so i wouldnt be surprised if we are not a bit later ... if its a bitter winter ... keep in mind.. its not air temps ... its soil temps which are usually the trigger for spring growth ... and we are subject to ground freeze in parts of our MI ... so you MIGHT be a few weeks behind beng ... ken

The OP may be confusing the Corylopsis/winter hazel with Oemleria cerasiformis or Indian plum/Osoberry. That is also budding out now in more rural, wooded locations and looks deceptively like the corylopsis from a distance. And it IS a native species.

Looks like a purple leaf sand cherry, Prunus x cistena. Depending on how hard and how often it gets pruned as to whether or not you would see any flowers.

If only I had a sense of smell. 🫤 Billions of sinus infections killed it decades ago. Thanks for the ID. At least I can still see its beauty.

Very easy to grow from cuttings if you scrounge some pieces. Just stick them in the ground and revisit next spring.
