There’s no reason to go back and forth trying to make a decision, choose both! Shirofugen Flowering Cherry (Prunus serrulata ‘Shirofugen’) offers a continuously changing show of pinks and whites all through its bloom season!

The flowers bud a light pink color at first and then, over the course of the blooming process, brighten to white. They stay white for a while, but not for long. Just as you start longing for a little more color, the blossoms transform into a deep pink with mauve reaching from the centers.

Not to be outdone, the leaves of this spectacular tree are just as showy. They sprout a crimson-flushed bronze and darken to a lush green during the summer. The leaves make for a fascinating follow-up to the intensely pink blooms of late spring. Once fall arrives, the tree gives you one more color to marvel at as the leaves turn a reddish-orange before finally falling for the year.

During the magnificent bloom, few activities are as pleasurable as simply opening the windows and letting the scent of cherry blossoms fill the room. Picking a couple of blooms off the tree and bringing them inside will also give any home that sweet fragrance, along with adding a splash of color!

As if Shirofugen Flowering Cherry’s beauty and fragrance weren’t enough, this ornamental tree brings pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds to the garden each bloom season! Watch as the tree comes alive with the flutter of winged pollinators in search of a tasty snack.

Okame Cherry Tree

Okame Cherry Tree (Buy Online)

If you want a showy ornamental tree, the Okame Cherry Tree (Prunus ‘Okame’) will have your neighbors saying, “Oh my gosh, what is that and where did you get it?” This is one of the earliest blooming Flowering Cherry blossom trees and flowers beautifully from Canada to Central Florida.

Each year in late winter or early spring, well before other trees are waking up, the Okame Cherry blossoms put on an incredible display. Carmine-pink flowers open on bare stems before the leaves emerge. This ethereal display will thrill you and stir your soul.

The blooms last for a particularly long time compared to other Flowering Cherries. The rosy-pink flowers have a mild fragrance.

It’s no wonder Okame trees are on display each year at the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. Visitors to this annual event will always remember how glorious these trees are in full bloom.

Okame blooms well in both the hot and humid South or the hot and dry West. It has a “low chill” requirement, so the blooms are reliable.

The further north you go, the more colorful the fall color display becomes. In colder climates, the Okame’s leaves turn a brilliant coppery orange-red with hints of yellow. It’s a magnificent finale for the year.

Even in winter, the tree has appeal. Once the leaves are gone, the textured reddish-bronze bark with its striking raised lenticels (pores) add an enormous amount of interest.

Okame will grow about 1 to 2 feet a year. It does great in almost any soil, but it must be well-drained. Give it full or part sun and prepare to be amazed.

This is a superstar specimen tree for the planter bed in the front yard, or outside your kitchen window. Japanese Gardens call out for the Okame to accent them. Give it plenty of room to reach its full mature height and width (spread), because you won’t want to prune off any of the pretty blooms.

This tree is great by itself, or when planted in groups of 3 to create a shaded area in the yard or to grace a patio. You’ll plant them 15 to 20 feet apart, measuring from the trunk of the first to the trunk of the second.

A loose triangle looks amazing! Vary the spacing a bit between each tree to create a very natural-looking grove.

Underplant these trees with spring bulbs and perennials like Hosta and Coral Bells. Add a few shade-tolerant evergreen shrubs, like Yew or Fragrant Sweet Box, to add structure to the planting. Hydrangea bushes can extend the season of interest, and Nature Hills has many to choose from.

Add your “supporting actor” plants while the Okame is small, so they have a chance to get themselves established together.

A classic look would be to create an alle, or double row, running along your drive if you have the space. Recreate the look in a smaller yard by placing a pair on either side of your entryway. You’ll love the feeling of walking through clouds of rosy-pink blooms.

This concept can also be used to create a destination in your yard. Why not create a special “Garden Room” away from the patio and house, and use 2 or 4 trees to line the path? Use shade-tolerant groundcovers like Purple Wintercreeper underneath the trees for a perfect, low-maintenance look.

This is also a great tree for an office or storefront to attract early spring attention. Everyone will be talking about it. Be sure to add exterior lighting and “uplight” directly into the canopy to capture attention at night, too.

  • Vivid Rosy Pink Blossoms in Early Spring
  • Blooms in Hot and Humid South, and Hot and Dry West
  • Fabulous Spring and Fall Color in the North
  • Specimen Tree
  • Requires Little Pruning
  • Celebrated at the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C.
