Prunus sargentii, commonly known as Sargent Cherry, is a breathtaking ornamental tree, native to Japan and Korea. It flourishes in USDA Zones 4 to 7 and grows to heights of 20 to 30 feet with a matching spread, making it ideal as a stunning standalone or group shade tree. Sargent Cherry thrives in full sun to part shade, preferring well-drained, medium-moisture soils. Delight in its early spring spectacle as clusters of pink flowers bloom before the rich, dark green foliage emerges, adding a pop of color and attracting birds to your garden.

In the fall, its glossy leaves transition to vibrant reds and bronzes, creating a captivating display. With its polished, cinnamon-brown bark, Sargent Cherry not only offers seasonal interest but also provides a sturdy yet graceful structure that is adaptable to urban landscapes, residential lawns, and as a standout specimen tree. While it requires occasional pruning to maintain strong structure, this tree boasts moderate growth and low maintenance needs. Its tolerance to road salt and clay soil further enhances its versatility. Although its fruits are inconspicuous, they are beloved by birds. Embrace the charming presence of Sargent Cherry and indulge in its beauty year-round.
