Another gorgeous tree!!!  This Kwansan Cherry, Prunus serrulata Kwansan is one of many in Meeks Park, near the entrance.  This cherry tree blooms AFTER the leaves emerge, and the leaves are a little on the olive side of green.  Still, gorgeous!!!

 

As with the Dogwood, if you want to plant one in your yard, do it soon.  Summer is too late to plant trees.  You can't keep enough water on them to get them going.  Or do like we do:  just go to the park and admire them there.  They should be blooming at least for the next week.  Look around, you may see others.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
