Autumnalis Higan Cherry is a deciduous shade tree known for its clouds of spring blossom on elegant, spreading branches. Autumnalis Higan Cherry flowers in spring in shades of red, and performs best in full sun with moderate watering once established. This tree matures to roughly 15-30 feet tall and 12-25 feet wide. It is ideal for front yards, boulevards, and open lawns where summer shade is wanted, offering long-term shade and strong seasonal colour. Easy to establish and simple to maintain, Autumnalis Higan Cherry rewards basic care with a reliable display season after season. A layer of mulch helps hold moisture and keeps roots cool in summer.
