Product Overview:
The Okame Cherry Blossom Tree is a standout among Japanese cherry trees, celebrated for its exceptionally early bloom and captivating beauty. This tree is perfect for gardeners and homeowners looking to add a splash of color and elegance to their outdoor spaces.
Key Features:
-
Earliest Cherry Blossom Bloomer: The Okame Cherry Tree is generally the first cherry tree to bloom each spring. Its medium pink petals open fully even before the treeβs leaves appear, offering an early burst of color in your garden.
-
Consistent Beauty: Botanically known as Prunus 'Okame', this tree provides consistent year-to-year blooming. The rosy pink buds are visually appealing even before they open, and the bloomβs calyx and reddish stamens linger for about a week after flowering, extending the display. When in full bloom, the Okame Tree looks like clouds of pink.
Flowering and Growth Pattern:
-
Extended Bloom Time: The blooming period often lasts for 2 to 3 weeks, depending on local weather, creating a sustained period of beauty that will enhance your gardenβs aesthetics. It is one of the longer flowering cherry blossom trees.
-
Growth Characteristics: At maturity, the Okame Cherry Blossom Tree reaches a height of 20-30 feet with a similar spread. While young trees exhibit a broad-columnar shape, older trees mature to a more rounded, graceful appearance. With a medium growth rate, expect your Okame Cherry Tree to add about 1-2 feet per year, particularly in its early years.
Ease of Planting and Maintenance:
-
Easy to Grow: The Okame Cherry Tree is remarkably easy to plant and grow, making it an excellent choice for both new and experienced gardeners. Its adaptability ensures that it thrives in varied growing conditions.
-
Hardy Nature: Suitable for USDA Zones 6 to 9, this tree is noted for its hardiness, providing a reliable and stunning performance even in less-than-ideal climates.

How Your Plants Are Shipped & Care Instructions
To ensure a seamless transition to your garden, please follow the specific steps below based on the type of plant you ordered:
π¦ 1. Container-Grown Plants
Our container-grown plants are shipped with fully established root systems nestled in premium potting media.
- Unpack & Water Instantly: Carefully remove the protective packaging and check the soil moisture. Give the pot a thorough watering until moisture runs out the bottom drainage holes.
- Acclimation Period: Place your container plant in a sheltered, partially shaded location for 2 to 3 days to help it recover from transit before moving it to full sun.
- Planting Depth: Plant at the exact same depth it was sitting in its shipping container, gently loosening the outer roots if they are encircling the root ball.
- Moisture Control: Keep the soil consistently damp but never soggy for the first few weeks as the roots expand.
π± 2. Seedling & Liner Bare-Root Plants
Seedlings and liners are young, vibrant plants shipped without pots to make transit highly efficient.
- Immediate Attention: Unpack immediately upon arrival. If you cannot plant them right away, keep the roots moist and store them in a cool, shaded location out of the wind.
- Hydration First: Soak the roots in a bucket of water for 1 to 2 hours right before planting to wake them up.
- Planting: Spread the roots out naturally in the planting hole. Ensure the crown (where the roots meet the stem) sits right at the soil level. Water thoroughly to settle the soil around the roots.
πΎ 3. Groundcover Bare-Root Plants
Groundcover bare-root bundles (like Vinca minor or Sedum) are shipped dormant or semi-dormant, ready to take off once in the ground.
- Check Moisture: Open the bundle immediately. The packing material around the roots should be damp. If planting is delayed a day or two, lightly mist the roots to keep them from drying out.
- Soak Before Planting: Soak the root systems in water for about an hour before putting them in the ground.
- Spacing & Depth: Plant them at the same depth they were growing previously, firming the soil gently over the roots to eliminate any air pockets. Water heavily right after planting and keep the area consistently moist until established.
Shipping Information
Orders containing only hard goods generally ship right away
as the inventory allows. Those items ship year-round and generally within one
week.
When ordering plants during fall or spring shipping, we will
set your order for theΒ next available shipping week appropriate for your
location. April and May are our busiest months, and sometimes shipping delays
happen. Plants may be processed later than scheduled or the shipping department may get behind. This is not the norm, but it does sometimes happen. Please bear with us if this happens.
Our bare-root (field-grown) trees and shrubs typically arrive at the facility for shipping in November, December, and January (for fall shipping) and in February, March, April, and May (for spring shipping).
An example ofΒ month-by-month shippingΒ would be as follows, as plants are available:
January - zones 9 - 10Β
February - zones 8 - 10Β
March - zones 7 - 10
April - zones 6 - 10
May - zones 5 - 9
June - zones 3 - 8
JulyΒ - zones 3 - 7
August - zones 4 - 7
September - zones 5 - 8
October - zones 5 (some areas) - 9
November - zones 6 (some areas)Β - 10Β
