ILPARW (southeast Pennsylvania - Zone 6b) on Apr 10, 2019 9:37 AM concerning plant:
This cultivar of an Oriental Flowering Cherry is commonly planted in southeast Pennsylvania and is offered by most conventional nurseries. (Okame, Yoshino, and Kanzan Cherry trees are the three most common Oriental Cherries planted in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the USA.) It is the earliest ornamental tree that I see blooming in this region. The buds and flowers begin looking dark purple and then open wider and turn a rose-pink colour that seems to lighten as time goes on. It develops a good orange fall colour. It is a reliable ornamental tree that like many such trees lives usually about 50 to 60 years, maybe to 100. Its origin comes from a hybrid cross made by a flowering cherry enthusiast of Captain Collingwood Ingram between a Fuji Cherry (Prunus incisa) x a Taiwan Cherry (Prunus campanulata) in the early 20th century in England.

Apart from the difference in flower color and shape to another common cherry blossom, Prunus x yedoensis, this variety also exhibits a somewhat denser branching habit than that of Prunus x yedoensis, also with denser nodes.
