April 1, 2022 – Autumn Flowering Cherry

No April Fool: the Autumn Flowering Cherry is currently clothed in light pink flowers. At times though we do see a scattering of blooms in the fall/winter, but the majority of bloom comes in the spring. The blooms emerge before the leaves.

An Autumn Flowering Cherry (Prunus subhirtella ‘Autumnalis’) can be found at the intersection of Estaugh and Medford Leas Way on the Medford Campus.
