Flowering Cherry, Akebono
Prunus x yedoensis 'Akebono'
Description
A cultivar of the 'Yoshino', the 'Akebono' Flowering Cherry tree is a spring delight! As it awakens from its winter slumber, a profusion of slightly fragrant, soft pink, semi-double blossoms emerge and gradually fade to white. Glossy, dark green, serrated leaves turn orange-yellow in the fall. Excellent choice for lawns or as a specimen plant. Good disease resistance.
