    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Profuse, semi-double, deep-pink flowers highlight this lovely winter into spring flowering tree. Of the hundreds of varieties the Japanese have developed, this is a beautiful one! With a nice rounded habit to 15-25' it makes a lovely specimen or accent tree. In frost-free areas it sets a small crop of the delightful and useful Ume apricots. S/M/GDr
