This listing includes 30 Japanese Flowering Cherry (Prunus serrulata) seeds, a stunning ornamental tree admired worldwide for its breathtaking spring bloom display. Known as Sakura, this iconic tree symbolizes renewal, beauty, and the fleeting nature of spring.

This fast-growing deciduous tree reaches 15–25 feet tall with a graceful vase-shaped, spreading crown. In early spring (April), clusters of white to deep pink blossoms appear along the branches. Flowers may be single, semi-double, or double, and some forms are lightly fragrant.
