  • Description

  • Notes

This flowering cherry has a rounded form and spreading branches, growing to about 25 feet tall and wide. It displays a profusion of fragrant, semi-double, soft pink blooms in the spring before the leaves emerge. Flowers are followed by small black cherries (1/2” diameter) which are bitter to humans but loved by birds. Foliage is a dark, glossy green, turning a rich yellow in the fall. Deciduous. A lovely specimen tree.
