Angel's Blush® Flowering Cherry

Prunus serrulata 'Taizo'

Sku #2802

A wonderful small tree for urban gardens. A profusion of pink buds open to snowy white, double flowers in dense clusters that obscure the branches from view in spring. The blooms give way to attractive, bright green summer foliage. Deciduous.

Design IdeasFlowering Cherry is among the most beautiful of the spring blossom displays. The consummate tree of the Japanese tea garden and in other Asian landscape compositions. Just as traditional in cottage and country gardens or as common color accents in Washington DC landscapes. Plant as a single specimen, in pairs at entries and gateways, in groves to compound their influence or in regularly spaced rows along driveways or street side.
