Yoshino Cherry

Prunus x yedoensis

Honeybees seek out Yoshino Cherry's abundant nectar and pollen from its early-spring blooms, offering a vital early-season resource when few other plants flower. Peak bloom occurs in March to April, supporting colony buildup. The tree's single flowers provide easy access for bees, though it may require pest monitoring to avoid neonicotinoid treatments harmful to pollinators.
