Neutral	waderhead	On Oct 14, 2003, waderhead from middleburg hts, OH (Zone 6a) wrote: I'm in cleveland Ohio (U.S.) and will be planting this tree in the next week or two. It will be on the north and west side of my front yard, receiving early morning sun until about noon and then partial sun/shade.
Neutral	haleygem	On Jun 20, 2003, haleygem from Saugus, MA wrote: We have the Snow Fountain cultivar and it is growing great in sun in zone 6. It is a beautiful tree my only problem is the blooms do not last long enough.
Positive	radyek	On Apr 20, 2003, radyek from Akron, OH wrote: Our tree is beautiful, but young still. We want to keep it pruned so it stays on the smaller scale.
Positive	lupinelover	On Jan 19, 2003, lupinelover from Grove City, OH (Zone 6a) wrote: This is a very beautiful cultivar. It is sterile, so the flowering season is prolonged. The flowers are medium to dark pink, borne in profusion, and open sequentially.
