Yoshino cherry is a graceful ornamental flowering cherry tree with a spreading, broad-rounded, open crown. Fragrant white (sometimes tinged pink) flowers in 3 to 6-flowered clusters appear before or simultaneous to the emergence of the foliage in a profuse and spectacular early spring bloom. Flowers are followed by small black cherries (1/2″ diameter) which are bitter to humans but loved by birds.
