**'Snofozam' ('Snow Fountains') defoliates earliest**—often by early November in nurseries. If your tree lost leaves weeks before other cherries, it’s likely **'Snofozam'**.

Verification

• Visit a nursery carrying all three; compare labels, habit, leaf size.
• Check mature size: **'Snofozam' fits tight spaces best.**
