Commonly known as the Flowering Cherry tree with the largest blossoms, Akebono bursts into clouds of blooms each spring before leaves develop!

As the lightly fragrant flowers bloom their course, the leaves begin to sprout a lush, deep green that turns the flowering masterpiece, into a lovely shade tree for the rest of the season.

The shape of this sizable Cherry Tree starts with a more upright form when young and quickly turns into a symmetrical stunner with a rounded crown and dense foliage.
