A gift from Japan in the early 1900's, this is the variety featured in Washington D.C.'s Cherry Blossom Festival. Okame Cherries are loaded in early spring with showy, rosy-pink flowers and make a great specimen tree to welcome the new season. Easy to grow and forgiving of drought, heat, cold and humidity.
Okames transplant easily into just about any kind of soil including heavy clay, just be sure there is adequate drainage. Does well in full sun to partial shade. A little afternoon sun relief would be welcome. The bark is a shiny reddish-brown and fall foliage ranges from red to bright orange. Plant as a specimen tree, use on a patio, or line a driveway with several for a fantastic show!
