Hally Jolivette

Hally Jolivette is an attractive medium-sized flowering cherry. It features bright white semi-double flowers.

By the standards of ornamental cherries the blossom is quite long-lasting, regularly exceeding 2 weeks. This is because, unusually for a flowering cherry, the individual flowers do not all open at once. Flowering also tends to start from a very young age, and it is quite common for a 2-year old tree to have blossom.
