Yoshino cherry (Prunus yedoensis) is a tree for specimen planting, lawns, and spring flower displays. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. White flowers, sometimes tinged pink, open in early to mid spring. The tree grows 30 to 40 feet tall and wide, so give it plenty of room.
