Why plant Akebono Yoshino Cherry?

Akebono Yoshino Cherry takes the iconic beauty of the Yoshino Cherry and adds a blush of warmth. Developed in the early 20th century, Akebono quickly rose in popularity for its fuller flowers and slightly pinker hue. Each spring, this tree bursts into bloom with masses of soft pink blossoms that fade to white as they mature, covering its elegant branches in a luminous display. A beloved harbinger of spring and a legacy tree for generations to enjoy, Akebono blends refined beauty with strong landscape performance.

How to use Akebono Yoshino Cherry in the landscape?

Akebono Yoshino Cherry is perfect as a single showstopper in the front yard, courtyard, or garden. It also shines when planted in rows along a drive or pathway to create a grand floral avenue. With its broad, rounded canopy and gentle branching habit, it casts lovely shade in summer and provides brilliant golden tones in autumn. Its year-round charm makes it equally suited for formal or informal landscapes.

Frequently Asked Questions
