ornamental cherry
Pink flowering tree
Ornamental cherry trees are varieties of cherry cultivated for their blossoms rather than their fruit.
They produce spectacular spring flowers—typically pink or white—but yield little or no edible fruit.
Common in parks, gardens, and along streets, they're closely associated with Japanese culture, where cherry blossom viewing (hanami) is a centuries-old tradition.
The ornamental cherries along the Potomac are Washington's spring attraction.
