Prunus x yedoensis Standard

Delightful little deciduous tree, whose arched branches bear shiny green oval leaves, 6-10 cm, sweet-smelling when rubbed between fingers. Flowers like little stars, creamy-white or yellow-green, in short clusters, perfumed especially in the evening. Winged fruits like those of elm which remain on tree until late autumn, very decorative. Prefers fertile soils, but will grow in poor dry terrain too.
