    Merklin Str between Russell and Thrift. Big tree with pink 'Whitcomb' flowers. After strong wind lost lots of bloom.

    Yes, it does look like 'Okame'. So that's a park building and this is a park tree, not a private tree? Even better if that's the case.

    Royal Ave south side between Foster Str and Johnston Rd(15110), Beni-shidare weeping cultivar
    Last year residents collected signatures to save 2 cherries trees, trees were decorated before blooming to attract more attention, trees blocked ocean view, one tree is survived, another is gone

    Nice 'Beni-shidare' - the name actually means "pink (or red) weeping". Thanks for including the story.

    Accolade cherry is on the west side of Northcrest Dr near 28Ave.

    Beni-shidare cherry is on the west side of Northcrest Dr near 29Ave.
    March, 26. I uploaded more photos for this cherry tree. Can it be Whitcomb? Flowers actually not big. The coin is 25cents.

    I am arbitrarily defining White Rock / South Surrey as one neighbourhood, with boundaries as 120th Street to the west, Highway 10 to the north, and 192nd St to the east. Nadia was having trouble separating these areas, and a real estate agent confirms that

    I agree, but I am looking for cherry at Semiahmoo Peninsula, in walking distance from my place. It is an area between ocean and highway 99:) to USA

    OK, I'll try again.

    The White Rock /South Surrey neighbourhood boundaries are:

    Below the Serpentine River, the western boundary is the water (Mud Bay, Semiahmoo Bay) to the west and 192 Street to the east.

    North of the Serpentine, the boundaries are:
    120th Street to the west, Highway 10 to the north, and 192nd St to the east.

    Beni-shidare cherry is on the west side of Northcrest Dr near 29Ave doesn't have characteristic long, pendent side branches, and petals look larger. Compare with photos of other trees farther down page.

    Autumnalis Rosea (or Jugatsu) on the corner of 16Ave and 128Str


    On 15А Ave from 130Str Whitcomb or unknown cherry? 3 last pictures. I am confused, flowers correct but trunk and branches look different. I went there again and took more pictures
