Perhaps the finest of all cherry trees; a graceful 20-30' tree with four season interest, bronzy young leaves turn lush-green in summer before becoming bright red in fall and 1" spring flowers clusters are a pretty light-pink before turning into glossy 1/3" black-cherries, winter shows off the shiny copper bark.
