Plant Profile: Prunus 'Okame'

The tree features a smooth, reddish-brown bark and is resilient to both heat and cold. It is a hybrid of P. campanulata and P. incisa, though it can be vulnerable to damage from late frosts. This variety is easy to transplant and produces lovely rosy pink flowers in early spring, boasting a longer blooming season compared to many other cherry trees. It thrives particularly well in heavy clay soil.
