Japanese Flowering Cherry – Prunus serrulata 60 Seeds | Showy Hardy Ornamental Sakura Tree Spring Blossoms | Fast Growing | Bonsai | Fall Color

This listing includes 60 Japanese Flowering Cherry (Prunus serrulata) seeds, a fast-growing ornamental tree treasured for its spectacular spring blossom display. Known as Sakura, it symbolizes renewal, beauty, and the arrival of spring.

This small deciduous tree typically grows 15–25 feet tall with a graceful vase-shaped, spreading crown. In early spring (April), clusters of showy white to deep pink flowers bloom along the branches, often appearing at the same time as new leaves. Flowers may be single, semi-double, or double, and some forms are lightly fragrant.

After flowering, glossy green foliage develops and later turns brilliant shades of yellow, red, and crimson in autumn. Small black pea-sized drupes form in late summer and attract birds and wildlife. Smooth reddish-bronze bark with prominent horizontal lenticels provides attractive year-round interest.

Ideal for:
• Specimen tree
• Group plantings
• Bonsai cultivation
• Wildlife gardens
• Ornamental landscapes
