Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.

  • Notes

'Mount Fuji' is an ornamental, flowering cherry with a rounded, spreading habit that grows about 20 feet tall and 25 feet wide. It has a white spring flower that emerges before the leaves unfurl, and the flowers age to a pale pink. Leaves open a coppery red and mature to a rich green. Fall color is golden yellow to orange.
