Yoshino Cherry

Prunus x yedonensis The Yoshino Cherry--a vigorous-growing, small, ornamental tree-- is what brightens the D.C. Tidal Basin, among other places, every spring. Its habit is upright and spreading creating a graceful open pattern. Its flowers are single, light-pink to white, and slightly fragrant. This tree needs good drainage, so plant on a slight slope, or place gravel or washed stone in bottom of hole. Leave top of root ball about 4-6” above the grade. Add mulch to cover.    *Deer May Rub Antlers on Bark* Photo courtesy of Our Growing Friends at Casey Nursery in Goldsboro, NC Ornamental Characteristics Category Flowering, Ornamental Tree Foliage Type Deciduous Height 30' - 50' Spread 20' + Shape Upright & Spreading Primary Foliage Color Green Seasonal Foliage Color Green Flowering Season Early Spring Flower Color White to Light Pink Fruit N/A (Ornamental) Environmental Characteristics Growth Rate Moderate Sun Preferences Sun to Partial Shade W
