Description

The Mt. Fuji Cherry (also known as ‘Shirotae’) is the epitome of elegance, with its gracefully spreading branches adorned with fragrant, semi-double pure white flowers. The blooms seem to float like clouds above the garden. Its horizontal, tiered habit and delightful almond scent make it a poetic and majestic choice for a spacious lawn in a cooler Bay Area microclimate.

• Grows with a distinctive, wide-spreading, almost flat-topped habit with horizontal branching, offering a dramatic architectural form year-round.

• The flowers emit a delicate, sweet almond fragrance, adding an enchanting sensory layer to its visual display.
