A deciduous tall tree of the Rosaceae family (APG classification: Rosaceae). It grows to a height of 10-20 meters. The leaves are elliptical, 8-14 cm long, pointed at the tip, and slightly heart-shaped at the base. In April and May, the reddish leaves and scattered five-petaled flowers, 3-4 cm across, bloom. It grows wild in Hokkaido, the San'in region of Honshu, Hokuriku, and north of the Chubu region, as well as the Ishizuchi Mountains of Shikoku, and is also distributed in the southern Kuril Islands, Karafuto (Sakhalin), and Korea. It is used as a garden tree and for lumber. Its flowers are larger than those of Yamazakura, hence the name, and its darker flower color means Beniyamazakura, and its abundance in Hokkaido means Ezoyamazakura.

バラ科(APG分類:バラ科)の落葉高木。高さ10~20メートルになる。葉は楕円(だえん)形、長さ8~14センチメートル、先はとがり、基部はやや心臓形になる。4~5月に赤みのある葉と同時に、径3~4センチメートルの紅色の5弁花が散形状に開く。北海道、本州の山陰、北陸、中部地方以北と四国の石鎚(いしづち)山脈の山地に野生し、南千島、樺太(からふと)(サハリン)、朝鮮にも分布する。庭木や用材にする。ヤマザクラに比べて花が大きいのでこの名があり、花色が濃いのでベニヤマザクラ、また北海道に多いのでエゾヤマザクラともいう。 [小林義雄 2019年12月13日] [参照項目] |©佐藤廣喜"> サクラのおもな品種(1)〔標本画〕 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
