Yoshino Cherry

Yoshino Cherry (Prunus x yedoensis) is a timeless bonsai subject famed for its delicate white-pink blooms that herald the arrival of spring. Originating from Japan, these healthy starts offer the opportunity to cultivate a revered flowering species steeped in cultural significance. The Yoshino's cascading branch structure compliment a graceful spreading habit. When kept compact through careful pruning, the petite serrated leaves reduce harmoniously, mirroring the tree's dainty blossoms.
