Kanzakura - Kanzakura

Japanese: カンザクラ - かんざくら
Kanzakura - Kanzakura

A deciduous tall tree of the Rosaceae family (APG classification: Rosaceae). It grows to a height of 4-6 meters. The leaves are obovate-elliptical, 4-10 cm long, and sharply pointed at the tip. In February and March, before the leaves appear, pale pink five-petaled flowers measuring 2.5-3 cm in diameter bloom in umbels or corymbs. It is said to be a hybrid of Kanhizakura and Oshimazakura. It is an early-flowering cherry tree, suitable for gardens in warm regions. Cultivars such as Ookanzakura and Shuzenjikanzakura flower slightly later.
