Japanese Flowering Cherry 'Shidare-Yoshino', Yoshino Cherry, Potomac Cherry, Tokyo Cherry, Weeping Yoshino Cherry
Prunus x yedoensis ‘Shidare-Yoshino’ (Yoshino Cherry) is a deciduous tree with a dramatic and graceful weeping habit. Blooming in early spring, its pendulous bare branches get smothered with generous clusters of brilliant white blossoms. As the flowers wane, the oval-shaped, dark green leaves emerge and create a fresh summer canopy. In fall, they turn burnished shades of bronze and gold before shedding to the ground. ‘Shidare-yoshino’ is a cultivar of Yoshino cherries, a hybrid dating back to the late 1800s and thought to be the result of hybridizing Prunus speciosa with the weeping form of Prunus subhirtella v. pendula. This fine ornamental tree grows fairly quickly to become a respectable specimen.
