Yoshino Cherry
Are you looking for a nice tree to plant in your yard? Or do you just simply want another kind of tree to learn about? Whatever the reason, the Yoshino Cherry Tree is the one for you.
The Yoshino Cherry, also known as prunus x yedonsis, is native to the country of Japan. This tree is a hybrid, however the origin is unknown. It is one of the most widly planted of the flowering trees. This is a small decidious tree that grows from 5-12m tall. It grows the best in full sun areas and in zones 5-8.
The Yoshino Cherry gets beautiful flowers right before the leaves appear. The flowers are white or pale in color, with fragrant blooms with 5 petals on them. Blooms grow in clusters of 5 or 6. It has a small, cherry fruit, that is a globose drupe 10-12mm in diameter. The fruit poses as a food for many mammals and small birds, which includes robins and thrushes.
Due to it’s small size, sweet smelling fruit, and elegant shape, this tree is generally used for ornamental purposes. The Japanese legend is that a fairy maiden, flys over the trees and awakes the sleeping cherry trees with her sweet delicate breath of air. A cool fact to know is that this cherry tree was introduced to America in 1902.
Along with all new aditions to your yard, the Yoshino Cherry does require a small bit of attention. This tree is sensitive to drought, therefore it will need to be watered in an area that does not recieve much rain. The crowns will become one-sided unless they recieve sun all over. Please be sure to plan the tree where it can recieve full sun. And for best results acidic soil with good drainage, is the best choice.
So get to shopping and place orders early from your local mail order nursery. Don’t forget to read proper ways to care for your trees before planting.

For all you landscape lovers out there, the perfect pick for you is the bradford pear. In landscaping, always picking the best possible trees is a must. Here below are just a few reasons to pick the bradford pear for all your landscaping needs.
First of all, it measures from 49-66 feet in height. This bradford pear has beautiful dark green, glossy leaves. During the fall the leaves differ in color. They can be red,purple, bronze, the possibilities are almost endless for this tree. Sometimes more than one of these colors will appear on a single leaf. However, usually the change from green to these magnicifant colors is usually in real late fall.
Secondly, this tree has pretty white flowers that appear each Spring. They are white with around five petals on each one. The only thing is they have a sickly sweet smell. This tree has a friut as well. The friut is less than one cenimeter in diameter, hard and woody almost all the time until softened by a good frost. The frost makes the fruit ready for birds, which helps spread the seeds by the birds’ droppings.
Thirdly, this tree is very resistant to pests such as blight or other kinds of insects. This tree is more commonly taken out by storms or very high winds than sicknesses. They will also tolerate most soil types like clay and alkaline. They also tolerate drought and wet soil really good. The life span of this tree is around 20 years.
This tree can be purchased at most online trees nurseries
