Prunus x yedoensis
About Prunus x yedoensis
Single pink blossoms become white with age on Yoshino cherries—considered to be the most widely cultivated cherry in Japan, particularly around Tokyo. Flowers are faintly fragrant. In 1912, the mayor of Tokyo presented the United States with 800 Yoshino cherries, the basis for the famous Tidal Basin display in Washington, D.C.
