This cherry is named after Captain Collingwood Ingram, an English enthusiast of Japanese flowering cherries. It is a seedling of Prunus Kursar, and therefore essentially a form of Prunus campanulata – the Formosan Cherry. Its small compact upright shape and dark pink blossom are both characteristic of this species.
