April 11, 2026 We featured single pink flowers on pendulous trees a few weeks ago – ‘Beni-shidare’. Here is the double-flowered version, ‘Yae-beni-shidare’. They do bloom a little later than the version with single flowers, but they have fewer petals and they’re earlier to bloom than the pink chrysanthemum-flowered trees. Like most of the pink-flowered trees, their flowers fade toward white as they age. In this case, in the second photo, the flowers seem completely white, except for mere hints to their former colouring. Thanks to Cherry Scouts Tao Yan and Wendy Cutler for the photos.
