Masses of sweetly-scented and fully double deep-red flowers make this small tree (to 20') a wonderful sight to behold in late winter or very early spring when they are ahead of most other trees and so most appreciated; a truly lovely upright specimen with small yellow apricots (if not hit by frost) and pale yellow fall color. S/M/GDr
Flowering Apricot. Masses of double deep rose flowers in early spring make this an outstanding small cultivar. Lightly scented. Zone 7.
