Akebono is a beautiful and hard-to-find flowering cherry tree with flowers that rival the outstanding beauty of the Yoshino cherry tree. It has commanded our respect for its beauty, and you also get the seasonal benefit of it flowering just before the Yoshino cherry tree.
Prunus x yedoensis Akebono trees produce beautiful delicate pink flowers in the spring. They are a brighter tint of pink than the flowers of the better-known and more widely planted Yoshino Cherry. Akebono Cherry tree shape is upright and spreading, reaching about 20 feet in height and spread at maturity.The foliage is medium green and turns yellow in the fall. This tree commands our respect for its beauty and its bloom timing fits well with other Yoshino cherry and flowering trees!

The Helen Taft Cherry tree is a fantastic flowering cherry tree variety named after a female trailblazer in the early 1900's who also happened to be the wife of President Howard Taft. She was one of the key people who helped create the Cherry Blossom arboretum along the Potomac river bordering Washington DC and Virginia. This specimen is a outstanding flowering tree specimen, and would look great in a grouping, or in a tree line! It is a deciduous upright tree with a spreading crown, reaching both a height and width of 20' x 25'+ after 25 years of growth. We find that this tree is very hardy with minimal problems with insects and disease. It is most comparable to its female parent, Prunus x yedoensis Yoshino, except for its slightly larger size and noticeably large pink flowers. This tree is a true winner, and we are quite impressed with its many positive characteristics. It is Highly recommended!
