Prunus x yedoensis 'Akebono'
Choose Akebono Yoshino Cherry if you want a fast-growing spring-flowering ornamental for an open lawn or driveway edge; the tradeoff is that its spreading crown needs room and the bloom season is short.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | Its spring bloom gives a strong seasonal display, but it is quieter after flowering. |
| Growth Rate | A | This is a fast grower for customers who do not want to wait years for presence. |
| Maintenance | B- | Plan on basic pruning for structure and cleanup after bloom and leaf drop. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | Deer readily browse and rub young trees like this, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C | It can outgrow tight beds because the crown spreads as it matures. |
| Screening Value | D | It is a deciduous ornamental tree, not a privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Akebono for open front lawns and broad driveway areas, not tight foundation beds. Give it room early so the mature shape does not fight the house, walk, or parked cars.
| Mature Height | 30 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 32.5 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 5a-8b |
| Spacing | 20 ft |
| Sun | Full Sun to Part Shade |
| Moisture | Average to wet |
| Growth Habit | Upright, spreading |
No, it is grown for flowers, not fruit harvest.
The bloom is short, usually a spring highlight rather than a long season.
Only if you leave enough room for the crown to spread without pruning it hard.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
