Japanese apricot (Prunus mume) has the advantage of carnation-like fragrance. It is also comparatively small-growing.

You don't say what town you are in.

Bboy,

Thanks for your prompt reply!
I am in Seattle, WA.

I looked up online, Prunus mume seems to have white/rose/pink flowers depend on its cultivar. Very pretty and 15-20' tall would be perfect for the location. Do you know which cultivars have pale pink flowers??

Of those offered here to any extent 'Dawn' is probably most like what you want. It has been stocked by Wells-Medina nursery in recent years - don't know if they have any specimens right now - and Sky nursery, where I saw it on offer a few weeks ago. Source of following excerpt also has a color photo of one flowering in Seattle.

'Dawn' Originally from Japan and is said to be known there as 'Musashi-nono' but was named 'Dawn' about 1929 by W.B. Clarke. Still in commerce; among the commonest of all. Flowers about 1.5 inches wide, rich clear pink, very double. Petals exquisitely ruffled; delightfully fragrant. Blooms the first week February. Leaf hairless. Tree somewhat dwarf.
