Killarney

Yes, I only counted five Takasogo trees on Vivian Drive, in full bloom on April 7, 2016.

 

'Kanzan' arch on 42nd at Earles.

 

Magnificent Avium, but I don't think they are 'Plena'. Flowers are not double. And the trees are not as weepy as 'Plena'.

 

Five young 'Shiro-fugen' on Killarney north of 46th. Planted in 2012.

 

'Kanzan' on Doman St at 47th. Trees on 47th, and on Doman.

 

'Akebono' trees (I think - I couldn't find a staminode) in front of Killarney Community Centre:

 

Pendula 'Beni shidare' in front of a private residence on the west side of Kerr near 58th (just north of the golf course):

 

Here is one 'Accolade' on Blake St. east of Champlain Crescent at Garibaldi Drive, north side of the street. I'm not sure what you call this type of pruning, which I now notice is a thing, as it was done on my favourite 'Tai-haku'. Is there a name for that styling? The flowers were so pink that I thought it might be something else.


There is also a later blooming tree next to it.

 

Avium Plena's pleasing plenitude in Killarney: the other Killarney 'Plena' locations are done, but the west side of Kerr from E. 45 to E. 47 still has its line of trees in flower.

Past peak bloom on April 28, 2019.

 

The two Somei-Yoshino trees in Killarney Park (Raleigh at E.47) are in early bloom at March 27, 2020.

 

Killarney Park's Some-Yoshino now at peak bloom, April 4, 2020.

 

Sargent Hybrid trees at the southwest corner of Killarney Park (E.48th and Raleigh) are in full bloom, April 4, 2020.

 

Two mature Akebono in bloom at SW Earles and E. 43rd, April 4, 2020.

 

Finally, an appropriate sakura illustration for the Corona-virus Pandemic of 2020: the nine young Tai-Haku on the playground area of Charles Kingsford Smith School, NW side of E. 53rd and Elliott, at April 9, 2020.

 

Beautiful Yae-beni-shidare is in full bloom across from the west side of Killarney Park (NW corner Coleridge and Raleigh) at April 11, 2020.

 

Yama-zakura is now blooming to accompany the two Somei-Yoshino on the west side of Killarney Park (Raleigh and Coleridge) at April 11, 2020.

 

Takasago trees are in bloom along north side of E. 46, from both directions of Raleigh at April 11, 2020.

 

A lone Sargent Hybrid breaks the Takasago line along E. 46 and Raleigh at April 11, 2020.

 

Takasago past peak bloom at NE E. 50th and Kerr, April 11, 2020.

 

The two Washi-no-o trees on the north side of E. 51st, east of Kerr are past peak bloom, and getting their red eyes on April 11, 2020.

 

I remember that tree - they always used to prune it so short; now it looks a lot better.

 

This is about as good as it gets for a Kiku-shidare tree, in bloom at 2718 E. 44th (south side), east of Wales, on April 14, 2020.

 

Avium Plena in bloom along Kerr, E. 45-47 at April 24, 2020.

 

The five young Shiro-fugen planted in 2012 as per post #104 are doing very well on the borders of Killarney Park (Killarney Street, south of E. 45th). In bloom at April 24, 2020.

 

We must give Takasago some credit for hanging around and giving a rosy perspective to E. 46th from Killarney to Raleigh, to counter all that green in Killarney Park. At April 24, 2020.
