Okame Flowering Cherry Tree – Early Spring Pink Blooms That Brighten Your Landscape

• The Okame Flowering Cherry Tree (Prunus × incam ‘Okame’) is a vibrant ornamental tree prized for its brilliant rosy-pink blossoms that appear in early spring—often before most other flowering trees begin to bloom. A hybrid with Japanese origins, the Okame Cherry is known for its cold tolerance, compact size, and dazzling early-season color. Its upright form and masses of bright blooms make it a standout focal point in home gardens, lawns, and streetscapes.
