| 0 | DPRU 630 | ARIAKE | Prunus serrulata Lindl. var. lannesiana (Carrière) Makino | Japan | | | Historic | 1986 | COLLECTED | | | | | | Cultivar | Type = Cherry. Per Ingram (see citation): "Large flowers, as much as 5.5 cm. in diameter, nearly single pink-white or white bloom, rubus-like shape; similar to Botan Zakura, but more hardy and vigorous. However, growth tends to be slow, coarse, and with a low amount of branching." | 1007662 | DPRU 630 |
| 1 | DPRU 631 | TAKI-NIOI | Prunus serrulata Lindl. var. lannesiana (Carrière) Makino | Japan | | | Historic | 1986 | COLLECTED | | | | | | Cultivar | Type = Cherry. Per Ingram (see citation): "The Japanese name for this Cherry poetically suggests that its flowers possess the fragrance of a waterfall. Personally, I have failed to detect any such subtle resemblance, and to me the blooms smell very like those of any other scented variety. In my earlier writings I spoke disparagingly of this Cherry and said that, apart from its name, it had little to recommend it. I have since amended my opinino. It is true that its white flowers are small and not of very good form, but they are borne with lavish freedom and show themselves to full advantage against the reddish-bronze of the young foliage. When it has attained maturity and made a fairly large tree with wide-spreading branches, Takinioi is a very attractive sight in the late spring. it is a useful variety for prolonging the flowering season, as it is among the last half-dozen to open its blossom and come into leaf. The white flowers and the definite reddish-bronze colour of the unfolding leaves of Takinioi serve to illustrate the futility of attempting to separate the Sato Zakura into the two distinct groups, namelyLannesiana and serrulata, as Wilson has tried to do. Both of the above mentioned characters agree with those given by Wilson for P. serrulata var. spontana, whereas he places Takinioi in his so-called 'Lannesiana' section." | 1007674 | DPRU 631 |
| 2 | DPRU 632 | Botan Zakura | Prunus serrulata Lindl. var. lannesiana (Carrière) Makino | Japan | | | Historic | 1986 | COLLECTED | | | | | | Cultivar | Type = Cherry. Per Ingram: "Upright spreading habit; flowers can be over 5 cm. in diameter, pink fading to pink-white or white during blooming; serrated sepals; leaves bronze with coarse aristate serrations to the edges; blooms mid-season." | 1007675 | DPRU 632 |
| 3 | DPRU 633 | DAIKOKU | Prunus serrulata Lindl. var. lannesiana (Carrière) Makino | Japan | | | Historic | 1986 | COLLECTED | | | | | | Cultivar | Type = Cherry. Per Ingram (see citation): "As it appears to have escaped the notice of recent writers, it can only be assumed that Daikoki is now very rare, or completely wanting, in the counrty of its origin. This is almost as surprising as the disappearance of Tai Haku, for it is a very striking Cherry with exceptionally large double pink flowers. It is true that these are not borne with the profusion one is accustomed to expect in the Sato Zakura, but for size and quality they are unsurpassed among the double varieties. Individual blossoms sometimes measure as much as 5.5 cm in diameter. These are fully Double, having forty or more petals of a purplish-pink hue, and in the centre of each will be found a cluster of small leafy carpels. The buds are dark, purplish-red and very thick, with a broad truncated end. The inlforescence is in the form of a loose, pendant corymb, the peduncle being stout and very long. The unfloding leaves are yellowish-green; the medium-sized serrations being tipped with small aristate points." | 1007688 | DPRU 633 |
| 4 | DPRU 634 | HORINJI | Prunus serrulata Lindl. var. lannesiana (Carrière) Makino | Japan | | | Historic | 1986 | COLLECTED | | | | | | Cultivar | Type = Cherry. Per Ingram (see citation): "This is a very lovely Cherry with soft pink flowers. The intrinsic beauty of these is greatly enhanced by the dark purplish-brown tint of the cupula and calyx - indeed, the sharply contrasting combination of these two colours produces a wholly delightful effect, and effect still further enlivened by the red of the semi-persisting involucral scales. Unfortunately, when the tree is out of bloom, it has a somewhat gaunt and leggy appearance, for the stiffly ascending boughs are never more than sparsely furnished with foliage. But for the sake of its lovely blossoms, which may be counted among the most beautiful of all cultivated Cherries, we may well pardon this minor disability. The semi-double flowers, which are closely packed all along the branches, are of good shape, being open in the centre, with thier pale-pink petals, numbering about fourteen, arranged in two or three tiers. They measure about 4.3 cm across. The leaves are of a long and characteristically narrow form. Horinji makes a small upright tree, probably never attaining a height of more than 15 or 18 feet. When in Japan, I was shown a cherry called Kabuto-Zakura, which was very similiar in appearance to, if not identical with, this variety. THe floering perios is a little past mid-season. Horinji is the name of a Buddhist temple in Kyoto." | 1007689 | DPRU 634 |
| 5 | DPRU 638 | 'OJOCHIN' | Prunus serrulata Lindl. var. lannesiana (Carrière) Makino | Japan | | | Historic | 1986 | COLLECTED | | | | | | Cultivar | Type = Cherry. Per Ingram (see citation): "Ojochin, as I know it, is a strong, coarse grower with big leaves nad fairly large pinkish-white blossom. If a little stiff and gross of habit, it is nevertheless a handsome tree when in bloom, while its good constitution is a very definite asset. The flowers measure about 4.5cm in diameter. The winter buds are unusually plump and appreicably more ovoid than in most varieties, the flower buds in particular being notably round. The unfloding leaves are bronzy-brown, becoming rather tough and leathery when mature. This variety has the peculiarity of producing two distinct forms of foliage, one with the usual acuminate tip and the other without. With their rounded ends these latter are broadly oblong in shape. Although these very distinctive leaves are sometimes also tove found in Shirofugen, they are far more frequent in the present variety. Under suitable conditions Ojochin probably makes a broad-crowned tree up to 25 feet or more." | 1007713 | DPRU 638 |
| 6 | DPRU 641 | 'Ukon' | Prunus serrulata Lindl. var. lannesiana (Carrière) Makino | Japan | | | Historic | 1986 | COLLECTED | | | | | | Cultivar | 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." | 1007730 | DPRU 641 |
| 7 | DPRU 646 | Taoyame | Prunus serrulata Lindl. var. lannesiana (Carrière) Makino | Japan | | | Historic | 1986 | COLLECTED | | | | | | Cultivar | Type = Cherry. Per Ingram (see citation): "Leaves dark, purplish-brown; flowers semi-double, soft shell pink; calyx, cupula and pedicel a vinous brown color. Growth not very rapid, but upright-spreading tree of fair size. Young stems and leaf stalks deep purplish-red. Blooms mid-season." | 1007757 | DPRU 646 |
| 8 | DPRU 410 | Amanogawa | Prunus serrulata Lindl. var. lannesiana (Carrière) Makino | Japan | | | Historic | 1985 | COLLECTED | | | | | | Cultivar | Type = Cherry. Per Ornamental Cherries (see citation): "The flowers appear as dense bouquets of soft pink bloom, grouped round the branch ends. They are faintly fragrant, of moderate size and sually single, though ocasionally they may be semi-double. The young leaves are yellowish-bronze. The flowering period is a little past mid-season. The literal translation of its vernacular name is 'Celestial River,' this being the Japanese term for our 'Milky Way'." | 1006065 | DPRU 410 |
| 9 | DPRU 413 | Botan Zakura | Prunus serrulata Lindl. var. lannesiana (Carrière) Makino | Japan | | | Historic | 1985 | COLLECTED | | | | | | Cultivar | Type = Cherry. Per Ornamental Cherries (see citation): "This is a very effective Cherry. Unfortunately it has not the best of constitutions and makes only a small straggling tree of upright-spreading habit. The leaves and flowers are large, the latter often measuring well over 5cm in diameter. Single, or nearly single, they are pink in the bud, fading to pinkish-white or white when fully expanded. The inflorescence is in two to four flowered, rather flattish, corymbs. Sepals distinctly serrated. Young leaves bronze-coloured, with coarse aristate serrations to their edges. Flowering period mid-season. Its Japanese name, 'Boton Zakura' means 'Paeony Cherry'." | 1006100 | DPRU 413 |
| 10 | DPRU 414 | Mikuruma Gaeshi | Prunus serrulata Lindl. var. lannesiana (Carrière) Makino | Japan | | | Historic | 1985 | COLLECTED | | | | | | Cultivar | Type = Cherry. Per Ornamental Cherries (see citation): "This cherry has a very distinctive habit of growth, for if left unpruned it will produce long ascending boughs with very few, or no, lateral branches. Along these boughs numerous short spurs are formed, and on nearly all of them clusters of relatively large, blush-pink flowers will appear in the spring. The well-shaped blooms, which measure up to 5.3 cmj in diameter, are mostly, though not always, single. In old trees the compact, short-stalked form of the corymb gives the inflorescence a bunched and somewhat characteristic appearance. Unfortunately Mikuruma-gaeshi, from its manner of flowering, is very liable to injury by brown rot. In all other respects it is a very desirable variety and can certainly be numbered among the most beautiful. Its flowering period is about mid-season." | 1006105 | DPRU 414 |
| 11 | DPRU 416 | Washi-no-o | Prunus serrulata Lindl. var. lannesiana (Carrière) Makino | Japan | | | Historic | 1985 | COLLECTED | | | | | | Cultivar | Type = Cherry. Per Ornamental Cherries (see citation): "In ornamental value this Cherry does not rank very high, and perhaps its chief claim to notice rests on its robust constitution and vigorous growth. But these virtues are shared equally by Tai Haku, likewise a white variety, which surpasses it in every other respect. The flowers are pure white, faintly fragrant, and generally single though they may sometimes have an extra petal or two. They are of good shape, but only of moderate size, being usually under 4 cm in diameter. Compared with some forms, the peduncle is rather short. The unfloding leaves are of a brownish-bronze tint. The flowering period is mid-season. The Japanese name signifies "Eagle's Tail," given to it for no apparent reason." | 1006126 | DPRU 416 |
| 12 | DPRU 896 | Double White | Prunus serrulata Lindl. var. lannesiana (Carrière) Makino | Japan | | | Historic | 1900 | COLLECTED | | | | | | Cultivar | Type = Cherry. Per Ornamental Cherries (see citation): "There can be little doubt that this cherry has been derived from the species found growing wild on the island of Oshima in Sagami Bay, a plant known to science as Prunus speciosa...The broad, spreading habit of Shirotae gives the adult tree a distinctive and not unpleasing appearance...The strong serrations of the leaves, with their curved and very long aristate tips, gives the foliage a peculiar fringed apperance. This feature is perhaps more pronounced in Shirotae than in any other variety. The pendant clusters of large, snow-white, fragrant flowers appear about mid-season...Although fairly good constitution and comparatively vigorous growth, owing to its tabular form, this variety never makes a tall tree. The dying foliage assumes a golden-yellow colour prior to falling." | 1009785 | DPRU 896 |
| 13 | DPRU 897 | HIZAKURA | Prunus serrulata Lindl. var. lannesiana (Carrière) Makino | Japan | | | Historic | 1900 | COLLECTED | | | | | | Cultivar | Type = Cherry. Per Ornamental Cherries (see citation): "Hisakura is normally a single Cherry...Although less luxuriant in growth, it's foliage strongly suggests affinity to Kanzan, and there can be little doubt that the two have been derived from the same progenitor. Its single rose-pink flowers, however, have a modest beauty and pleasing form which are sadly lacking in those of its more popular rival. The flowers measure about 4.2 cm across and are borne in loose coryombs of two, three or four blooms. The calyx and cupula are tinted purplish-brown...Flowering period is early mid-season - a week or more before Kanzan. Hisakura signifies Red, or Pink, Cherry." | 1009797 | DPRU 897 |
