Vancouver's 40,000 ornamental cherry trees will soon be coming into bloom and the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival is pleased to offer you the Vancouver 125 commemorative edition with the new Chinese index of Ornamental Cherries in Vancouver, written by Douglas Justice, Associate Director & Curator of Collections at UBC Botanical Garden.

Ornamental Cherries in Vancouver is your indispensable field guide to help you identify our 35 different cultivars of flowering cherries and was initially produced as a fund-raiser and to help Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival volunteers (VCBF 'Cherry Scouts') "tackle the sometimes confusing job of identifying cherry cultivars around Vancouver." It is also sold at the UBC Shop in the Garden and at VanDusen's Garden Shop.
