aka Yoshino Cherry or Tokyo Cherry

This weeping tree even looks good naked but in spring it's all dressed up with pale pink to white single blossoms that smother the branches. The tree forms a broad umbrella of green foliage in summer. Vivid autumn display. A must have! Plant in a sunny well drained spot for best results. Deciduous
