Prunus yedoensis (Yoshino Cherry Tree)
(Deciduous flowering cherry – graceful shape, outstanding spring blossom)
Yoshino Cherry – A highly regarded Japanese cherry variety, producing clouds of soft white to pale pink blossom in early spring before the foliage appears. The lightly scented flowers attract bees and pollinators, while the tree’s spreading form creates a beautiful canopy effect. Leaves emerge bronze, mature to green, and develop golden-orange autumn colour. A stunning ornamental choice for lawns, avenues, and feature planting.
