Flowers in fascicles. {Don's Mill.) A low erect tree, or rather tree-like shrub. China. Height in China 4 ft. to 6 ft.; in British gardens 6 ft. to I Oft. Introduced in 1822. Flowers double white, tinged with red, though not so much so as the double French cherry. This tree resembles the common cherry tree, but is not of such vigorous growth ; and only the double-flowered variety of it has been yet introduced. A very ornamental plant. ¥ 5. C.

Flowers white; March and April. Fruit pale red; ripe in June. This tree is readily known from the other cherry trees, even when without its leaves, by its rough gibbous joints, at which it readily strikes root; and is, consequently, very easily propagated. It has been tried by Mr. Knight, as a fruit tree ; and he finds that it forces in pots better than any other variety. Desirable for small gardens, on account of its very early 4S1. c.
