Prunus x yedoensis - Yoshino

Prunus x yedoensis

(Yoshino Cherry)

A world-famous ornamental tree celebrated for its ethereal spring display of white-pink blossoms and graceful, spreading habit.

Masses of fragrant, light pink to white flowers in early spring, followed by small black berries that attract birds.

Elegant, upright-spreading canopy that develops a wide, flat-topped crown at maturity.

Grows 20–40 ft tall and 15–30 ft wide.

Prefers full sun to part shade and moist, well-drained, acidic to neutral soil.

Attracts pollinators and songbirds, moderately drought tolerant once established, and provides stunning fall color.

Hardy in zones 5–8.

The ultimate focal point for lawns or walkways—its dramatic spring "snowfall" of petals and architectural form make it a centerpiece of the landscape.
