Highly ornamental deciduous tree. One of the earliest flowering cherries with pink buds opening to double white flowers mid-spring. A vigorous tree, vase-shaped with spreading, horizontal branching. New pale green foliage is finely serrated, turns mid-green then yellow to red in autumn. Popular as a feature tree in small gardens, in a group planting and also tough enough to use as a street tree. Also available as a grafted standard.
