Akebono Flowering Cherry is a small spreading deciduous tree with a broad crown and bark with prominent horizontal stripes. The simple dark green leaves turn golden yellow with orange tints in fall. Masses of lightly fragrant soft pink, semi-double flowers bloom in early spring are followed by small bitter black cherries. Grows best in part sun in Southern climates and rich moist well-drained soils.
