The Plant<\/h2>\n

PRUNUS x yedoensis<\/em>, also called Yoshino cherry<\/em>, is highly regarded for its spectacular and abundant flowering very early in spring (even late winter). Its large flowers begin slightly pink and then become perfectly white (see photos).<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Yoshino cherry holds great cultural importance in Japan. Its flowers and elegant, airy architecture make it an exceptional plant.<\/p>\n

Then, in autumn, this tree of moderate size lights up with its foliage, which will take on a beautiful golden yellow color.<\/p>\n

In winter, its bark and graphic design will remain its ultimate assets. In summary, it is a plant for all four seasons, which is rare in botany.<\/p>\n

History and Origin<\/h2>\n

One might think that PRUNUS x yedoensis<\/em> represents a species in its own right. In reality, as the small “x” in the name indicates, it is a hybrid obtained from a cross between PRUNUS subhirtella<\/em> and PRUNUS speciosa<\/em>. The former is renowned for its graceful shape and drooping habit, while the latter is distinguished by its large flowers.<\/p>\n

This cross was made around 1720 in Edo (Tokyo). In Japan, it is named Somei-Yoshino, the most celebrated cherry tree in the hanami tradition. It symbolizes the ephemeral, renewal, and the beginning of spring.<\/p>\n
