Prunus 'Okame' - One of the earliest of the flowering cherries, its carmine-pink petals, with rose-red calyx and reddish flower stalks, open fully before leaf break. It has very consistent year-to-year blooming. The rosy red buds are attractive before flower break, and the calyx and reddish stamens persist for a week after flowering. The overall floral effect lasts 2 to 3 weeks. At maturity, the Okame Cherry Tree will attain 20-30' in height with a similar spread. Young trees display a broad-columnar habit; older trees develop a more rounded habit. Rate of growth is medium-fast, especially when young, so expect 1-2' or more per year. This tree is listed as being hardy in USDA Zones 6-9, but it has been quite successful at The Arboretum which is USDA Zone 5. Field Grown Huskies. These trees are transplanted, staked, and field-grown for 2 years. They are professionally trimmed, and ready to transplant to a permanent location. Ships: Fall and Spring
