Good Fortune for the Landscape<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cherry trees blooming in Washington, DC<\/a>\u00a0have long been a sign that spring has arrived. In fact, spring will be here before we know it! It’s only\u00a028 days<\/a>\u00a0away!<\/p>\n

While ornamental cherry trees are not native, they are often a focal point in the American landscape.<\/p>\n

Cherry trees are a traditional symbol of love and affection and are considered a sign of good fortune.<\/p>\n

I Can Not Tell a Lie<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Our first\u00a0President may have cut down his fathers\u2019 cherry tree, but here are two pink spring beauties from\u00a0LCN Selections<\/a>\u00a0that consumers will gladly tell a fib to get in their landscape.<\/p>\n

Pink Snow Showers\u2122 Flowering Cherry<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n

Prunus x<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Pisnshzam\u2019<\/strong><\/a>
This single blooming weeper has clean foliage all summer and then takes on burgundy hues holding its autumn leaves longer than other weeping cherries.
\"Pink<\/a><\/p>\n

Weeping Extraordinaire\u2122\u00a0<\/strong>Double Flowering Cherry<\/strong>
Prunus x ‘<\/em>Extrazam’<\/strong><\/a>
Extra-large and fluffy double blooms are accented by copper new growth. A very\u00a0vigorous growing cherry with glossy green foliage turning burgundy in the fall.
