The Yoshino cherry is one of the stars of such renowned events as the National and International Cherry Blossom Festivals. It is the most commonly planted cherry tree in the Washington D.C. area. Known for its vibrant display of white-pink blossoms in early spring and faint fragrance in the springtime. The black drupes are bitter but loved by birds. The smooth brown bark adds interest to the landscape. It works well as a street or shade tree in urban landscapes. Plant as a specimen or in small groups in a lawn or near a patio. If deer are hungry enough they may nibble on it.
