Many of the cultivars originated many years ago in Japan.\r\n\r\n'Akebono' - In 1920 the W. B. Clarke & Co. nursery in San Jose, California, introduced a new seedling called 'Akebono', which has had wide distribution and is very popular. As Japanese Flowering Cherries go, the Akebono can become quite large. Its blossoms are a delicate pink color; they make the tree look like a cloud in the spring.\r\n\r\n'Kwanzan' - The Kwanzan Cherry is ornamental, producing large, double, rosy-pink, pendant clusters of blooms. It is planted along many of Portland's streets.\r\n\r\n'Shirotae' - This beautiful, spreading cherry with fragrant, snow white flowers is also called `Mt. Fuji.' It is easy to spot at any time of the year because of its low horizontal growth pattern.
