Prunus 'Shirotae', also known as the Mt Fuji Cherry, is a graceful ornamental tree admired for its wide, spreading canopy and elegantly arching branches. In early to mid-spring, it is covered in a profusion of large, semi-double to double pure white blossoms with a light, sweet fragrance, creating a striking cloud-like effect. The fresh green leaves emerge after flowering, providing lush summer interest, and turn vibrant shades of yellow and orange in autumn. This hardy, low-maintenance tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice as a specimen tree or for adding seasonal beauty to gardens and landscapes.
