Prunus x yedoensis

A hybrid between P. speciosa and P. subhirtella ‘Rosea’ introduced around 1907. It has bluish-white single flowers, up to 30mm across but, before the fall, the centre of each flower and the stamens turn bright purplish-pink. It flowers early from late March. The autumn leaves are reddish to bright orange. It forms a wide-spreading tree to 10m with a similar spread.
