April 24, 2025 ‘Pink Perfection’ flowers are similar-looking to ‘Kanzan’, but they have more of a raspberry swirl ice cream colouring when the blossoms emerge. The trees, however, will never form an arch over the road the way ‘Kanzan’ do. They can be further distinguished from ‘Kanzan’ by usually green leaves when the buds are opening, and by the white flag-like filaments on top of their stamens. These are delicate trees, particularly prone to disease when mismatched to the mazzard cherry rootstock on which they are often grown.
