Known as the 'Great White Cherry'. The largest flower of any Japanese Zakura.  Pure white flowers in Spring contrast with the emerging foliage, which is coppery coloured.  Broadly spreading horizontal growth.  Orange and red in Autumn. This variety was almost lost to cultivation until a single tree was found in Sussex, UK in 1923.  Since its near extinction, it has been planted widely throughout the world including a re-introduction to Japan where it was lost in cultivation.
