Yoshino Cherry Tree

Nothing rivals the beauty of Japanese flowering cherry trees, and the Yoshino Cherry Tree is among the best and most-loved forms. In mid-spring the branches are covered in large, shell-pink semi-double blossoms, and the effect is nothing short of spectacular. All summer the glossy, deep green leaves turn this tree into a beautiful shade tree for your garden, before turning gold and orange in fall. It has no fruit to stain driveways or patios, so it can be planted anywhere where you have enough room for its spread of more than 30 feet. This fast-growing tree will soon amaze you and your neighbors with its beauty. Even in winter the handsome rich-brown bark and delicate branching catches the eye.

• Spectacular mid-spring display of large pink blossoms
• Grows quickly into a broad shade tree
• Attractive golden and orange fall leaves
• Grows well in cooler temperature zones
• Perfect flowering tree for alkaline soils

Choose a sunny spot to plant your Yoshino Cherry Tree. This reliable tree will grow in almost any kind of soil that is not constantly wet, and it is a top choice for alkaline soils. It normally needs no pruning to develop its beautiful broad, rounded form, but make sure you plant it with enough room to stay clear of surrounding trees and buildings. Mature trees are more than 30 feet across, so do not plant within 15 feet of any obstructions. It is more resistant than many other cherry trees to disease, so it usually remains healthy and attractive all year round.
