Notes
'Shidare-Yoshino' yoshino cherry (Prunus yedoensis 'Shidare-Yoshino') is a tree for borders and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows 20 to 25 feet tall and spreads about 20 to 30 feet wide, so give it room. Bees and birds visit it, and it blooms in early to late spring.
Pairs well with Winter aconite, Common snowdrop, Ivy-leaved cyclamen, and Feather reed grass.
