dome-shaped umbrella, up to 810 m high, covered like 'Taki-nioi' with flowers, but not having the latter's cascading crown shape. The flowers of 'Goza-no-ma-nioi' appear at the same time as the brownish-red foliage and have five to seven petals with three to five petaloids. The oval, orbicular petals may show some fringes at the top end. Because of the semi-double flowers, the appearance of the tree as a whole is more white when it is in bloom than 'Taki-nioi'.
