Owner's comments

This tree is a duplicate of the old tree #211615, created through budding on new rootstock in a nursery. It stands near a south-east facing wall that is mostly white. Unlike its ancestor, which often stands in shade, it appears to produce a decent blossoms quantity. My tree ID ref = F48
