A typical Portland Cherry, Prunus serrulata. There are thousands of these in Portland including the many Kwanzan, Akebono and Fuji Cherries. Every branch here has been stubbed off…twice. You can see where each cut has been made with its resultant sprouts. These trees are typically grafted at 4 or more feet above ground. The graft union is prominent at the top of the trunk.
