Not all flowering cherry trees fall into the official category of Japanese flowering cherry. A few other popular choices: 'Accolade' is a cultivar of P. subhirtella, which is itself a complicated hybrid. Growing to 25 feet with an arching habit, this variety has beautiful shell-pink flowers. Yoshino cherry (Prunus x yedoensis) is a slightly larger tree (up to 40 feet) that produces small berries, bitter in taste but popular with birds. It has good fall color and is useful as a small shade tree. Its flowers are white, tinged with pink. 'The Bride' is a cultivar of Prunus incisa. It has pure white flowers with pink/red centers. Growing to just 6 to 7 feet, it is a good choice for small patio gardens or for growing in containers.
