[3] in Botanic Gardens, Tohoku University, Natural Monument Aobayama, northern Honshu, on March 23 2016. [4-8] near a bridge at the entrance of Shunbetsu River, south-central Hokkaido, on June 14 2016. [9] near Shojin Falls, Sapporo, on September 18 2021. I usually identify this species by the bark, when the tree is large.
