Comments:
This is a very special tree. I got it from my mother's tree, maybe 20 years ago, and now it is very large. It blooms in late March, so I have my garden party then in its honor. It is covered with double white flowers which appear before the leaves. It makes fruit that is not edible, but is viable, and I have given many friends the seedlings. It takes several years for it to become large enough to bloom, but it is worth the wait!
