Prunus × yedoensis
Yoshino cherry
Notes:
Good for underplanting. Clay tolerance conditional on good drainage. Poor compartmentalizer of decay.
Fragrance described as a strong almond scent. From personal experience, I don't know about "strong", but certainly noticeable without needing to get your nose right up on it.
'Akebono'/'Daybreak' has earned the PHS Gold Medal Award.
