Upright Flowering Cherry. A popular street planting tree because of its narrow columnar habit. Clusters of fragrant, semi-double, shell-pink blossoms smother the tree in mid spring. Fresh bronze-green spring foliage turning bright green for summer. Deciduous.

The Japanese name Amanogawa means 'Milky Way' describing the tree in full bloom. The Royal Horticultural Society have given this tree an Award of Garden Merit.
