オオシマザクラとカンヒザクラの交配種のカワヅザクラです。オオシマザクラの白くて大きい花とカンヒザクラの濃い赤い花と、両者の早咲きの特徴が見て取れます。静岡県河津町のカワヅザクラが有名ですが、この写真は東京で撮ったものです。河津町のカワヅザクラは、もう見頃が過ぎていることでしょう。
This tree is Kawazu-zakura, a hybrid between Oshima-zakura and Kanhi-zakura. The meaning of 'Zakura' in Japanese is cherry tree. You can see the both Oshima-zakura and Kanhi-zakura characters on this tree. Oshima-zakura has large and white flowers, while Kanhi-zakura has dark red flowers. Both trees bloom early. Kawazu-zakura in Kawazu-cho, Shizuoka Prefecture is well known, but this photo was taken in Tokyo. Kawazu-zakura in Kawazu-cho's blossoms are probably already past their best.
