Yoshino Flowering Cherry
It is the main cherry tree in the Washington tidal basin, common on US Capitol grounds and around the Library of Congress. These deciduous trees have glossy, dark green leaves which turn yellow in fall. These ornamental cherries are bred for flowers and fragrance instead of fruit. The lavish blooms of soft pink semi-double fragrant flowers cover the rounded-spreading crown of this cherry. The Yoshino Cherry tree, Prunus X Yedoensis, has white or pink clusters of beautiful flowers that have a scent of almond. It is excellent as a border or mass plantings in an open area or as specimen tree. Total bloom time usually 10-14 days. The flowers appear before the leaves. Yoshino Cherry trees prefers full sun and well-drained soils. They are exceptionally showy with evergreens in background. ... more information
