New Westminster

Kanzan @ Fraser Cemetery on Richmond St & Cumberland, New Westminster

 

Benishidare, pink weeping / cascading, unfortunately heavily pruned but still beautiful. In front of Emmanuel Pentacostal Church on Carnarvon & 4th.
Thanks WCutler for helping identify them.
On the same street are other trees not yet in bloom ... especially trees surrounding Dorchester House on corner of 4th.

 

Kanzan trees @ Fraser Cemetery, 100 Richmond Street, New Westminster, on both sides of the street. Great views of the Fraser River, the Port Mann Bridge, Surrey skyline ... and on clear days, you can see Mount Baker. You can watch the sun rising on the east. If you get lucky with changing weather, you might catch a view of a rainbow :)

 

Whitcomb, Fader St off Major St, New Westminster.
Beautiful blossoms to brighten a cold rainy day.

 

I was with @tknd (Taka), and we were surprised but thrilled to see the 'Washi-no-o' in Queen's Park in full bloom.


Taka remembered liking this branch growing along the ground.


I didn't remember all this sucker growth on this tree.

Richmond St cemeteries in New Westminster.
@wcutler Thank you for identifying the
cultivar: Washi-no-o.
The Kanzan trees are not yet in bloom.

 

Does anyone know if the 'Whitcomb' cherries at 22nd Street Station are still there? I looked four days ago and saw nothing, thought maybe only early 'Whitcomb' are in bloom so far. But now I see the young 'Whitcomb' at VanDusen (posted by @Anne Eng at https://forums.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/threads/shaughnessy.36222/page-12#post-448968), so I wonder if I need to remove the 22nd Street trees from the map. I didn't find any cherry-looking trees, but they would not be the first cherries I missed seeing when they were not in bloom and show all 'Whitcomb' as in bloom now.
