Yoshino Cherry Tree (prunus x yedoensis) is a Japanese flowering cherry tree native to Japan. This tree is most known for its show-stopping white and pale pink flowers that emit an almond fragrance in the early spring. When fully bloomed, the tree's branches ascend in a vase shape, creating a beautiful canopy of pink blossoms over any garden.

A tree native to Japan, the Yoshino Cherry Tree was one of many species brought over to the United States as a gift of friendship in 1902. Japanese legend states that a fairy flies low in the sky each spring to awaken the sleeping cherry trees. The Yoshino Cherry Tree is well known for its appearances in the National Cherry Blossom Festival.

The popular ornamental tree grows best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade conditions. Yoshino Cherry Trees are known to be very versatile, but they prefer to grow in acidic, moist, and well-drained soil. Additional care tips for these unique flowering trees include applying a slow-release fertilizer in spring and summer and applying a layer of mulch around the tree's roots.

The best times to plant your Yoshino Cherry trees are early to late spring. During these times, your Cherry Tree will be able to best acclimate to its surroundings. Ideal for USDA grow zones 5-8, these hardy, fast-growing trees do not often disappoint.

The profuse spring bloomers work great in a wide variety of yard designs, including use as specimen tree focal points and for shade cover along paths and driveways.
