The Prunus x Yedoensis 'Shidare Yoshino' - Shidare Yoshino Weeping Cherry Tree is a unique accent tree well-known throughout most of the United States and Japan. Though grows upright in a vase-like shape with arching branches at a young age, once mature the dark bark structure quickly begins to take shape and the branches begin to droop in a weeping fashion. Featuring millions of small, showy, porcelain pink to white blooms covering the bare structure of the tree in spring. Followed by green foliage in the summer that later becomes shades of orangey-red in autumn, this ornamental cherry tree will be a dream come true in your garden.
