Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This elegant 25x 25' tree is remarkable in spring when its bursts into bloom with clouds of fragrant, semi-double, white to shell-pink flowers. Glossy, emerald green foliage in summer is beautiful on the spreading, curving crown of this pretty tree. The foliage turns a lively yellow-gold in autumn. A breathtaking specimen that is excellent as a focal point. 'Akebono' means daybreak; it was given its lovely name by the W.B. Clark nursery in San Jose Ca. in the 1920's. S/M
