Prunus triloba 'Multiplex'
double flowering almond
Notes:
Sometimes called a variety rather than a specific cultivar. Unlike this cultivar, the species does have fruits (obviously) and attracts birds and mammals thus.
Sunset says slow growing but Stoecklein says fast.
Regular pruning suggested for optimal flowering.
Blooms may be sensitive to late frosts. Only Cal Poly has claimed fragrance, so I have not tagged as such.
