Mountain cherry blossom specimen

Mountain cherry blossoms are deciduous tall trees of the Rosaceae family, native to Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. Growing wildly in the wilderness of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. The bark and tender leaves are red. It is an early blooming cherry blossom tree with many single white flowers, which bloom earlier in spring than Rani Yoshino and other horticultural varieties. Other varieties only grow leaves after flowering, but this species also grows leaves at the same time as flowering. It is also known as the 'Leaf Cherry Blossom'.
