Buy First Lady Flowering Cherry online. First Lady Flowering Cherry is a strong upright grower; and in fact, it's so strong we could almost call it columnar in growth habit. She is a hybrid cherry with 'Okame' and P. campanulata for parents, and it was developed for Dr. Donald Egolf and released through the National Arboretum. It features single dark rose pink flowers in early spring, and will follow up with glossy dark green leaves throughout the rest of the year until fall. Fall color is yellow. It makes a wonderful street tree or focal point in the full sun landscape!
Family: Rosaceae · Common Name: Cherry/Peach/Plum/Almond/Nectarine/Apricot
