Report an issue with this species
Prunus × incam 'Okame' is a relatively small tree sought after for its colorful, delicate foliage and spectacular flowering. A hybrid, this deciduous tree naturally forms a rounded canopy, requires little pruning, and has smooth reddish-brown bark. It boasts early-spring pink flowers and attractive, long-lasting fall colors, though its weak wood makes it susceptible to breakage.
