Prunus serrulata 'Shirotae', often known as the Mount Fuji cherry, is a spreading ornamental cherry admired for its generous spring blossom and elegant structure. In early to mid-spring, wide branches are covered with large, softly layered white flowers that create a bright, cloud-like display. The open, horizontal habit gives the tree a graceful presence, allowing the blossom to be appreciated from all angles. As flowering finishes, fresh green foliage emerges, forming a broad canopy that remains attractive through summer. Hardy and visually refined, 'Shirotae' is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a classic white-flowering cherry with strong seasonal impact and a distinctive natural form.
