Oh, That Cherry Tree!

CI didn’t know the tree in front of my house was a cherry tree—until it bloomed. Oh, my goodness did it ever bloom! The luscious pink looks amazing against the newly painted house. I’ve never had a cherry tree before, and I’m just crazy happy with the clusters of blooms that make me smile every time I walk through the front entry.

Oh—and don’t miss the new boxwood plantings that finish the moss garden bed under the tree. I wish my cherry tree could bloom all Summer long. Plant one and smile!

My tree in full bloom ... looks stunning against the house

    Hi Lissy – you house looks divine. Will you share the exterior color name with us?
    Thank you! Nancy

    1. Nancy, Thank you checking out my Cherry tree. I love my new house color—it is Burnt Hickory stain by Cabot. The trim is Benjamin Moore’s Bone White.
