Japanese Flowering Cherries, Sakura, Cherry Blossom
Among the most popular and spectacular spring-flowering trees, flowering cherries with their frothy masses of pink or white blossoms usually signal the end of winter and reveal the first blush of spring.
Most cherry tree varieties bloom in spring over a season that usually lasts several weeks. However, changes in weather conditions may have an impact on the time of flowering, advancing or delaying the appearance of the beloved cherry blossoms by several weeks. Generally, the milder the climate, the earlier the blossoms open.
Not all cherry trees bloom at the same time. There are early bloomers (mid- to late March), midseason bloomers (late March to mid April) and late bloomers (mid- to late April).
Here is a list of pretty cherry trees for early color in your spring garden. In the last two weeks of March, they will surely wipe away those memories of our most recent winter.
