The ‘Shidare Yoshino’ is a fantastic choice for the smaller garden, or for planting in a container on a sunny patio. The flowers of this tree smother the descending branches; they are single white flowers which produce a wonderful almond scent. The leaves emerge bronze and move on to dark green, they then produce a final burst of red and yellow before falling. This tree also produces dark red fruits in the autumn which last well into winter- the fruits are very popular with the birds and are therefore great for attracting wildlife to your garden.
