Okame Cherry Tree
The Okame Cherry Tree is a famous tree well known for its bright, rosy-pink blooms that emerge in early spring. As a harbinger of the season, this stunning Cherry Blossom tree is one of the first trees to bloom in early to mid-March.
You may recognize this stunning ornamental tree from its annual appearance at the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. Tourists from all over the world arrive by the thousands to witness the awe-inspiring show of the Okame Cherry Trees in bloom. Now, you can enjoy the same beautiful pink burst of color and fragrance in your garden!
Beyond the unique rosy pink flowers that bring early spring color to a yard, the Okame tree is loved for its compact size and easy-to-grow nature. The Okame Cherry Blossoms are exceptionally hardy and can withstand high temperatures, humidity, and drought without issue. Ideal care for these flowering trees includes full sun and a well-draining soil medium.
Reaching a mature height of 20 to 25 feet, the Okame Cherries are the perfect specimen tree to make a statement without overtaking a space. As a bonus, the Okame cultivar is impressive in that young trees still produce beautiful pink blooms! Additionally, beyond their spring color show, Okame Cherry Trees put on a stunning display of color in the fall as well, sporting coppery orange with yellow highlights.
The classic and popular cherry trees are often used as yard focal points or along driveways and paths. The trees also work beautifully in mass plantings!
