Prunus sargentii again!

I have written of 'Prunus sargentii' before and of my appreciation of the form as being one of the finest flowering cherries in existence. Nothing has changed my mind on this count. The young foliage is bronze-red in spring and is stunning, the bark is a dark chestnut brown all year and is attractive in its own right, the single pink flowers opening in late March through April are delightful, and the foliage you can see in today's image has been like this since September, in fact it has been even more glorious as it's going over a bit now. Additionally it is one of the few cherries that bullfinches ignore so you have a tree that just about has everything. Introduced from Japan, Sakhalin, & Korea about 1890 sargentii should be far more widely grown, unfortunately it is the big blousy blossoms that have been more popular in recent years, unjustly so in my opinion.
