Double-flowered Sweet Cherry
Prunus avium is the scientific name for the sweet cherry, with delicious varieties including 'Bing' and 'Rainier'. One of spring's beauties, this cultivar, however, is grown for the abundance drooping clusters of frilly double white flowers, bearing up to 30 petals. As with many other double-flowered plants, it does not produce fruit. Other features of this ornamental tree include glossy dark reddish-brown bark and 4-inch-long ovate toothed leaves that emerge bronze in the spring. Fall color is a mix of yellow and reddish-orange.
