Prunus ‘Blushing Bride’ (Shogetsu) Tree – Elegant Flowering Cherry
Prunus ‘Blushing Bride’, also known as ‘Shogetsu’, is an elegant ornamental cherry celebrated for its large, semi-double flowers that open pale pink and fade to white, hanging gracefully in clusters during late spring. The blossoms contrast beautifully with the fresh green foliage, which later turns orange and red in autumn. With its spreading, slightly weeping habit, this cherry makes a show-stopping specimen tree and adds elegance to medium and large gardens.
