Akebono Cherry Tree

Prunus × yedoensis 'Akebono' — Akebono is one of the most beloved flowering cherries — a graceful, spreading tree that erupts in a breathtaking cloud of soft blush-pink double flowers each spring before the leaves emerge. A refined selection of the classic Yoshino cherry, it delivers the same iconic spring display with slightly deeper pink color and a naturally elegant branching structure. A true showstopper in any landscape.
