— Yoshino (Yedoensis). 40'-50' Single Blush Pink 
Because of its conspicuous position around the Tidal Basin 
in Washington, D. C., this species is widely known, and 
also it is the "advance guard" of the gorgeous display 
during cherry blossom season. The single pink flowers 
become purple tinged before falling. Excellent shade tree.

subhirtella pendula. 12'-15' Weeping Japan Cherry 
Is it possible to adequately describe those gossamer pink 
fountains that come from fairyland each spring? And yet 
they are sturdy trees that need little attention beyond a 
well-drained place in the sun. These are the popular 
tall stemmed kind, with pendulous branches at top only.
