Okame Cherry

Beat the winter blues with the Okame Cherry, one of the earliest flowering trees to wake up each year. While other plants are still dormant, the Okame erupts in a breathtaking display of deep pink, bell-shaped flowers that provide a much-needed splash of color in late winter or early spring. This charming ornamental is a hybrid prized for its graceful, upright-oval canopy and its ability to thrive in a wide range of climates, from the humid South to the cooler North.

The beauty of the Okame Cherry extends far beyond its spring blossoms. Its fine-textured, dark green leaves provide cool shade all summer long before transforming into a brilliant display of bronzy-red and bright orange in the autumn. Thanks to its modest mature size, it is a perfect choice for small urban lots, planting under power lines, or framing a garden path. If you want to be the first house on the block with a blooming garden, the Okame Cherry is your go-to choice for early-season impact and multi-season interest.
