Prunus x yedoensis Awanui Hybrid Yoshino Cherry..Quite possibly the most popular variety of flowering cherry in New Zealand.. The hybrid Yoshino cherry is known for the great masses of beautiful pale shell-pink, large single blossoms that become white with age. Flowers are faintly fragrant and smother the tree in early spring. ‘Awanui’ has an excellent spreading form with horizontal branches that weep with age – an excellent shade tree for summer. The dark green foliage changes colour to a golden yellow in autumn before falling. Grows to H 5m x W 6m
