Description
Yedoensis Purpendens is a cultivar of flowering cherry. This weeping tree even looks good naked but in spring it's all dressed up with pale pink to white single blossoms that smother the branches. The tree forms a broad umbrella of green foliage in summer. Vivid autumn display. A must have! Plant in a sunny well drained spot for best results. Deciduous This tree was thought of as a species but is now thought to be an ancient hybrid of P.speciosa and P.subhirtella. No matter the origins it is a beauty. There are mass plantings in Washington DC and it is also a very popular street tree in Christchurch. Matures to around 5 m tall by 4 m wide.
