Mount Fuji Japanese Flowering Cherry

The Mount Fuji Japanese Cherry is a breathtaking flowering tree admired for its wide-spreading canopy and masses of large, fragrant white blossoms in early spring. As one of the showiest cherry varieties, it creates a soft, cloud-like effect when in full bloom - a true garden centerpiece.

After the flowers fade, its lush green foliage fills out to provide light, dappled shade through summer, followed by a gentle golden fall color. Mount Fuji is an excellent choice for walkways, entryways, or open spaces where its elegant branching can be fully appreciated.
