Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This cultivar is one of the very best of the flowering cherries. Gorgeous large, deep-pink, fully-double blossoms have up to 30 petals each. Bright-green foliage is tinged with bronze when it emerges on this 20-30' vase-shaped tree. The flowers are sterile so there is no messy fruit to clean up. This tree shows fantastic color again in fall when the leaves change from yellow to bronzy-orange. In Washington D.C. the Yoshino Cherry is planted in the Tidal Basin, while this cultivar is planted in East Potomac Park. S/M/GDr
