First Editions® Spring Wonder™ Sargent Cherry Tree
New flowering cherry tree is hardy to Zone 4
St. Paul, Minn. (Spring 2010) – First Editions® Spring Wonder™ Sargent Cherry Tree offers something to love all season long… even if you live in Zone 4! This beautiful flowering cherry tree has 
delicate, single pink flowers in the spring that mature into small, reddish-black fruit. Its new
leaves start out purple, turning shiny, dark green in the summer. The tree's upright, vase-shaped
form and polished, red-brown bark add to its three-season appeal.
This new Zone 4 hardy cherry tree is native to Japan and was selected by Dr. Harold Pellet and
Normandale Community College. Look for First Editions Spring Wonder at garden centers in spring 2010.
