A must have for any landscape! With gracefully weeping branches, these Japanese Cherry trees are wonderful urban trees. As small deciduous trees that at maturity grow to be about 15 feet in height with a 25 foot spread, they do well in full sun and moist, but well drained, soil. It is considered one of the most spectacular of flowering temperate trees in cultivation today. It's habit of thousands of simultaneously opening showy pink-white blossoms on bare branches is a sight to behold. Without a doubt this tree's greatest feature are its lovely pale pink to white blossoms which are borne in generous clusters all along its bare branches. They bloom pale pink and turn to white at maturity.
