2012 Guide to Greater Philadelphia Gardens Cherry Trees
Over 2,500 Cherry Trees and 50 Different Types
in Greater Philadelphia!
In honor of the centennial anniversary of the Japanese gift of cherry trees to America, we wanted
to share some highlights of the vast and beautiful collection of cherry trees in Greater
Philadelphia Gardens.
Did you know there are more than 50 different types of cherry trees to discover in Greater
Philadelphia Gardens If so, then you also know that with so many different types of cherry trees
in our region, you can find some in bloom throughout the spring.
With over 2,500 beautiful cherry trees in bloom in our region, why travel anywhere else We
think you’ll agree after you use our Guide to Greater Philadelphia Gardens Cherry Trees to
discover their beauty this spring.
Would you like to celebrate the centennial by planting one of your own To help you discover
cherry trees in our landscape that you may similarly want to plant in a community garden, school
or your own garden, here’s a handy excerpt taken from an interesting article, “Ornamental
Cherries - The Height of Spring” by Anthony Aiello - The Gayle E. Maloney Director of
Horticulture & Curator, The Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania. (For the full
article by Anthony Aiello, see Greater Philadelphia Gardens website column .)
“There are an immense number of varieties but the main ones for gardeners to consider are:
Prunus ‘Okame’: the Okame cherry is one of the most commonly planted cherries and
the first to bloom in Philadelphia - usually in late March or early April. It has dark pink
flowers that fade to pale pink as they open. It grows to 25 feet at maturity. Okame was
introduced to the United States through the Morris Arboretum in the 1940s. It was
propagated and distributed widely in the early 1980s.
Prunus subhirtella ‘Pendula’: the weeping Higan cherry is the most common of the
weeping cherries and one of the most graceful garden trees. Its small April-blooming
flowers are pale pink and cover the branches, giving the plants a beautiful overall look.
These plants grow to 25-30 feet.
Prunus ‘Snofozam’: Snow Fountains weeping cherry is a slower growing and smaller
weeping tree, making it useful in smaller spaces. Its branches are held more stiffly than
the weeping Higan cherry, but the overall effect is very attractive. Its small white flowers
completely cover the branches, making a fantastic display.

2012 Guide to Greater Philadelphia Gardens Cherry Trees
The main ones for gardeners to consider ( continued )
Prunus ´ yedoensis, the Yoshino cherry is probably the best known flowering cherry,
famous for the display surrounding the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. This is one of
my favorite plants and is a medium-sized tree that will grow to 40 feet. It blooms in
April with flowers that are pink in bud, opening to a pale pink-white at full flower. A
common variety of Yoshino cherry is Daybreak (‘Akebono’) known for its soft-pink,
semi-double flowers that cover the branches. A closely related selection is ‘Accolade’, a
likely hybrid of Prunus sargentii and Prunus ´ yedoensis. Accolade flowers profusely
with pink semi-double flowers.
Prunus sargentii: Sargent cherry is native to northern Japan and is among the hardiest
and largest of the flowering cherries. Its single rose-pink flowers emerge in mid April
before the foliage and at the same time as the Yoshino cherries. The deep red-brown
lustrous bark of Sargent cherry adds interest throughout the year. This species is best
grown in larger sites although the upright varieties ‘Rancho’ and ‘Columnaris’ are wellsuited
as boulevard or lawn trees. Sargent cherry has the most reliable red fall color of
any of the flowering cherries.
The second wave of flowering cherries occurs in late April, when a large number of
varieties come into bloom (these are variously listed as Prunus serrulata or Prunus
cultivars). There is an endless variation of these, with flowers ranging from whites
through darker pinks, and single, semi-double, and double forms of flowers. Many of
these are quite well-known such as ‘Kwanzan’ (Sekiyama’) the ubiquitous tree with its
brilliant pink double-flowers. But there are a host of other beautiful selections including
the attractive single white flowered ‘Ojochin’, the exquisite double white-flowered
‘Shirotae’ (the Mt. Fuji cherry), and the interesting chartreuse-flowered ‘Ukon’.
Philadelphia has a rich history of oriental flowering cherries. In the early 1900s, there
was a well-known nursery in Narberth that provided a wide assortment of selections. As
part of the Sesquicentennial celebration of 1926, the Japanese government gifted
flowering cherry trees to the city of Philadelphia and some of these original trees can still
be seen in Fairmount Park. In addition to these original plantings, the Japan America
Society of Greater Philadelphia has planted over 1000 cherry trees throughout the city.
Excellent displays can also be found at many members of Greater Philadelphia Gardens.”

Hortulus Farm Garden
60 Thompson Mill Road, Wrightstown, PA 18940
Phone:215.968.8286
Cherry Tree Collection Highlights:
Prunus cerasus “Montmorency” is one
of the cherry trees in Hortulus’garden
collection and nursery. Here’s a
delightful description from the book by
Jack Staub of Hortulus Farm Garden, "75
exciting fruits for your garden":
“‘Montmorency’ trees, aside from
surviving the heat and damp of Eastern
U.S. summers and bearing a flurry of
lovely white blossoms in spring, are
widely recognized for their excellent
productivity as well. In general, Sour Cherry trees possess a rounder, more spreading habit than
the erect Sweet Cherry, but they are also often grown on alternate rootstock to improve
hardiness, the ‘Montmorency’ variety usually being grown on ‘Mahaleb’ rootstock. However, a
new German-bred dwarfing rootstock known as ‘Gisela’ has recently entered the marketplace
and a selected strain, ‘Certified Penn Premium Montmorency’, grown under the Pennsylvania
Fruit Tree Improvement Program, seems to be the currently favored ‘Montmorency’ of choice. “
“Like the entire Sour Cherry clan, all ‘Montmorency’s are also happily self-fruitful, requiring no
pollinator, and bear later then the Sweet types which make them infinitely more frost resistant in
our more northerly zones. Why not try a basketful of these tart ruby orbs in a refreshing chilled
summer soup by boiling a pitted pound of them in 1½ quarts water with ¾ cup granulated sugar
till soft, then stirring in a mixture of a cup of sour cream leavened with a pinch of salt, a tbs. of
confectioner’s sugar, and 2 tbs. of flour. Chill, adjust seasonings, and serve to sundry gasps of
delight. “

1368 Prizer Road
Pughtown, PA
Phone: 610.469.7543
Cherry Tree Collection Highlights:
Over 12 beautiful cherry trees, which include 6 weeping forms that are not grafted.
“Many weeping plants, particularly
cherries, are actually grafted on a
different root stock (a non-weeping
form of the plant) to raise the weeping
part up off the ground. This gives them
a lollipop appearance because the trunk
is straight up to the graft union. These
plants would otherwise just spread
along the ground and not resemble a
tree at all. And, the root stock of
grafted trees has a tendency to send up
suckers below the graft union which
have to constantly be pruned off to
maintain the desired weeping form.”
Coordinated by Louise Eliason www.greaterphiladelphiagardens.org Page | 13

2012 Guide to Greater Philadelphia Gardens Cherry Trees
Cherry Tree Collection Highlights (Welkinweir continued):
The advantage of non-grafted weeping forms is that they have a much more beautiful and
natural appearance and do not require the extra maintenance to remove suckers.”

A wonderful historic account is featured
on Greater Philadelphia Gardens website
column written by Chris Strand, director
of estate and gardens at Winterthur.
Below is a delightful excerpt from
Winterthur’s Library archives:
1955, March22
Prunus ‘Accolade’
“Because Mr. du Pont had been denied permission to import Prunus ‘ Accolade’ (because
of the danger of introducing plant diseases) he asked to have Knap Hill Nursery write to
him at Claridges in London where he would be soon and tell him the smallest size P.
‘Accolade’ that they could supply. They, aware of the problem and already having
expressed their dismay over it; said they could supply a one-year grafted tree ”which is
three or four feet in height and could safely be cut down to a height of 15/18” Mr. du
Pont ordered three, wrapped separately!
Prunus “Hally Jollivette”
“Sent to HF by Karl Sax, Director of Arnold Arboretum in Nov. 1948. He asked Mr. duP
to evaluate it as part of their ongoing evaluation so that they could decide whether or not
to make it commercially available. Letter in archives
