Narrative

Type = Cherry. Per Ingram (see citation): Of early introduction, Ukon is now well known and often met with in English gardens. Its boughs are a little inclined to be gaunt and poorly furnished with lateral branches, but this can be remedied by early training, and apart from this one fault it is an interesting and attractive Cherry. In old trees its decidedly large, semi-double flowers are borne in great profusion. These are suffused with a soft sulphury hue, and seen in contrast witht the brown-bronze of the unfolding leaves are very effective. The leaves are large and handsome. The flowering period is mid-season. I believe its name in Japanese means yellow or yellowish. In the late autumn the foliage turns to a dark rusty-red or purplish-brown before falling."
