The Yoshino Cherry Tree came to america in 1902, from Japan, where it is truly the superstar of the the annual Cherry Festival. Its' profuse, and lightly almond scented, pink-tinged white blossoms put on a showy display from March-April. An elegant show-stopper, this tree is surprisingly low-maintenance and easy to grow. It just needs a sunny spot and evenly moist conditions to really thrive in almost any type of soil. It grows at a moderate pace, reaching up to 40-50 feet high, and can make an excellent shade tree underplanted with azaleas, hostas, and hydrangeas. Its' elegant, oriental-shaped branches even look pretty alone in winter.
