Home - Cherry Tree Species - Ukon Cherry

The Ukon Cherry is another late flowering yae-zakura (more than five petals). Its speciality is the yellowish color of its blossoms. As is the case with all late flowering cherry trees, the leaves of the Ukon Cherry appear around the same time as the flowers which gives the trees a less homogenous look compared to the earlier flowering cherry trees whose leaves do not appear until after the flowering peak. Ukon trees are very rare in Vancouver.
