How to grow yoshino cherry

Prunus x yedoensis

When to plant yoshino cherry

Plant this deciduous tree while dormant, in fall or early spring. Extension guidance rates fall (after leaf drop, with time for roots to establish) and early spring (before bud break) as the best windows; avoid planting into summer heat.

Yoshino Cherry is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
