Directions
From the Elms continue along 10th Ave to Cypress St and turn left. Cross Broadway again at the lights where a funny Cedar tree leans out from the wall on the corner. Head north down Cypress St and at 6th Ave you will reach Cypress Community Gardens. Cross over to the far side of 6th Ave and after enjoying the view down the hill straight ahead, turn left and follow the disused railway tracks. Continue along 6th Ave until you reach Arbutus St. On the south-side of 6th Ave are a row of three trees that are at their most stunning in the springtime. Our next featured tree: The Flowering Cherry.
Flowering Cherry
Proper Name: Prunus ‘Pandora’
Common Name:Flowering Cherry
Description: This beautiful small tree’s branches become covered in pale pink blossom in spring. Then as if it is just showing off its leaves turn a lovely bronzed-red in fall.
Defining feature: If you are lucky enough to catch it for a short period in the spring you can’t miss the profusion of pink.
