Nursery Note: These trees, while entirely healthy and vibrant, represent stock that didn't quite meet our standards for "Grade A" material — usually meaning that they lack a true leader, have an odd form, or were munched by a deer at some point. If you're patient enough to grow these out of this awkward phase (they're just babies, after all!) or are perhaps looking to build a bonsai collection, this could be the perfect deal for you.

About Flowering Cherry Blossom
The association of the cherry blossom with mono no aware dates back to 18th-century scholar Motoori Norinaga. The transience of the blossoms, the extreme beauty and quick death, has often been associated with mortality; for this reason, cherry blossoms are richly symbolic, and have been utilized often in Japanese art, manga, anime, and film, as well as at musical performances for ambient effect. The flower is also represented on all manner of consumer goods in Japan, including kimono, stationery, and dishware.
Bring the beauty of cherry blossom trees to your own yard or garden, and, each spring, you'll be greeted by a riot of white-to-pink flowers in celebration of your home's very own Cherry Blossom Festival!

Seedling Size Chart: Medium
Due to the dynamic nature of actively growing trees, as well as the tremendous variation between species’ growth rates, we rely on the cubic volume of a seedling’s root mass to determine its “size” (Small / Medium / Large / XL). Within each size there is minor variance — the dimensions provided here represent the category minimum. If exact measurements are essential, please contact us about current stock.
