Characteristics.
- It blooms from around 7th March. It peaks around 15th.
- Flowers develop before the leaves.
- The flowers are white, but slightly pink mixed.
- Pink color stands out at the stage before flowering.
- The flowers are slightly smaller than that of the Yoshino cherry tree.
- Strong scent. My impression.
This cherry tree is still cold and begins to bloom early in March. It is a time when the average temperature is about 10 degrees.
There is a characteristic that the temperature of breaking dormancy for the flower to bloom is low.
Therefore, it surely begins to bloom in early March when the temperature begins to rise.
The flowers might feel like not suitable for viewing from white small, but it is a strong scent with a very unique fragrance.
