Overview

The Japanese flowering cherry (Prunus serrulata) is a beautiful ornamental tree with a single trunk and an elegant, rounded canopy. The trunk is slender and covered with a brown bark. The leaves are dark green and glossy, and the flowers are usually white or pink and have five petals. In the age of blooming, the whole tree gets covered in small white or pink flowers, creating a breathtaking scenery. This species is usually found in parks, gardens, and along streets. The flowers are usually followed by two-toned, reddish-purple cherries which are edible and have a sweet flavor.
