Planning to install this yourself? We recommend a size 15 Gallon or smaller for DIY installations. These sizes do not require any offloading equipment.
Any tree or shrub that is sized by HEIGHT or CAL (Caliper- size where the trunk meets the root flare) is delivered with a large root ball wrapped in burlap (B&B). They are typically 1000+ LBS per plant. They will require heavy equipment to install. Installation is not included in the price of the plant. We highly recommend adding the ServeScape ‘One-Click’ Installation service (must be added at the cart page) for material of this size, or working with a contractor that can provide equipment for installation.

For any tree or shrub that is sized larger than 10’ HEIGHT or 3” CAL, the customer will be required to provide offloading equipment or a contractor to offload unless paying for installation through ServeScape. We will coordinate delivery with you so that your contractor can have equipment ready upon your plant's arrival!
  1. The Okame Flowering Cherry is a deciduous tree that typically grows to a height of 20-30 feet (6-9 meters) with a spread of 15-25 feet (4.5-7.5 meters). It has a rounded crown and a relatively short trunk. The bark is smooth and reddish-brown when young, but it becomes darker and develops horizontal lenticels as the tree matures.

  2. Flowers: The Okame Cherry produces abundant clusters of vibrant pink flowers in early spring. The flowers are single or semi-double, meaning they have a single or few layers of petals. They are about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter and cover the branches, creating a stunning display. The blossoms attract bees and other pollinators.

  3. Foliage: The leaves of the Okame Cherry are oval-shaped and emerge bronze or reddish-purple in the spring. As they mature, they turn dark green and provide a lovely backdrop for the pink flowers. In the fall, the foliage may develop shades of yellow, orange, or red before dropping.
