However, now that it is blooming we are certain it is not the tree we actually wanted. Nathan got me a tree last year for my birthday and our wedding to remind us of our time in DC. He wanted a Prunus Yeodonis, Yoshino Cherry, which is the species that blooms around the tidal basin in DC. Unfortunately, our tree is the Prunus serrulata, Kwanzan flowering cherry.OUR TREE:
An excerpt about our tree:
Hardy and well-known, this cultivar combines show-stopping flowering display with great foliage and habit. Double rose-pink flowers are abundant and appear in early spring before the foliage. New foliage is also interesting in that it comes out a bronze color quickly changing to dark green. Fall color is excellent for a cherry, with bronzy orange or orangy red hues. Our own-rooted starts eliminate the problem of unsightly graft unions and our source material is virus free (VC). The strongly vase-shaped habit is also very useful as a structural element in the landscape.
Here is what it will look like when it matures:
