The Yoshino Flowering Cherry Tree, as made famous by the Washington D.C. Tidal Basin, is a rapidly growing tree that is extraordinarily beautiful in the spring, when it is covered with single white, shell-pink cotton candy like blooms. The foliage is a dark glossy green, and the Yoshino Cherry Tree makes an excellent street tree, growing to a height and spread of 30 feet. (Growing Zones 5-9a)
