This is a \u003cstrong\u003eperfect ornamental tree with an abundance of delicate spring blooms in the spring\u003c\/strong\u003e. Try a long row of them lining a fence or create a fabulous allée with a double row on either side of your entry drive. Yoshino also makes a stunning lawn specimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven small gardens can use a Yoshino Flowering Cherry tree as an \"all-in-one\" ornamental accent and shade tree. Plant it where you can see the bloom from inside your house, too. A single tree will be the focal point of any landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is something sculptural about the sinuous branching structure of these pretty trees. Use this to your advantage in your yard. Here's how:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, plant trees at least 15 feet away from your house. You'll want to have access to the exterior for ongoing maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, imagine how your front entrance would look flanked by an arching pair of these trees. You'd have visual interest all year long. Carefully site the trees so the longest branches arch up over your doorway and reach towards each other. Selectively prune the lower branches if needed to create the effect you want. Amazing curb appeal!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very popular application of these trees would be to create a long row of them. Plant them 7 feet apart if you want the canopies to touch. If you want the trees to become individual specimens in your row, plant them 12 feet apart. Measure from the trunk of one to the trunk of the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRows look fantastic along a fence line or driveway. If you have the room, try a double row - or \"allée\" – all along both sides of the drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat a memorable experience each spring during bloom time! \u003cstrong\u003eFall color is another enchanting experience.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA double row can be used in the yard, as well. Plant a few trees on either side of a wide walkway or path to a destination spot such as an outdoor kitchen or fire pit. You'll heighten the experience for everyone who visits your yard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most important design elements in Washington, D.C. is how the Yoshino Flower Cherry trees reflect in the waters of the Tidal Basin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry this yourself. If you have a water feature, build a high bank of extra soil near one edge. Add 24 inches of topsoil above grade. Then, sculpt the dirt and firm it up well. Plant the Yoshino directly in that mound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen sculpting your topsoil mound, imagine you are recreating a tiny mountain range. Try to include at least one slightly elevated “peak” and a few small dips, or valleys. \u003cstrong\u003eHave fun with this cool project and enjoy the reflected tree\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e#ProPlantTips for Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce established in your soil, it is drought-resistant.

Ideally, this Hydrangea loves to have morning sun and then some partial shade from the hot afternoon sun.

An east side of a home or building, or a larger tree is ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvide rich, well-drained soils for your Hydrangeas.

Established plants are best protected like you might a Rose bush by waiting for the plants to go dormant, and then piling up a mound of mulch over the top of the plant by a foot or so.
