DESCRIPTION
Spring in the garden is announced by flowering japanese cherries. Variety Amanogawa has double or semi-double, light pink flowers that may turn to clear white. Young leaves are bronze, turning to green, and yellow with purple veins in the autumn. It has columnar habit and never spreads to sides which makes it ideal for even the smallest of gardens. As it starts to bloom in April when other deciduous trees are still bare with no leaves, we suggest to place it in composition with some evergreen trees or shrubs, or conifers to enhance the flowering. Very hardy.
