Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Shogetsu' meaning 'moonlight on the pine trees', is a fitting name for this graceful Japanese Flowering Cherry. It is also widely known as the 'Blushing Bride' cherry. It is considered by many to be the finest blossoming tree available. The form of this tree is elegantly spreading and it eventually reaches 15-20' tall x 20-25' wide. In spring, the large, fully-double flowers drape down in immense bunches, opening pink and aging to bright white as the season progresses. Autumn is a treat as well with the foliage turning glorious shades of red and orange. S/M
