James B added these pithy words on Aug 20 08 at 4:36 amI believe that is the yoshino cherry, it is native to Japan, and is the tree you see in the D.C. area photos. Prunus Yedoensis, is the latin name and it does pretty well in zones 6 through 8 I think. It should do ok in Bute or Big Timber, but outside those areas, it might flounder. It is one of the fastest growers among cherries. There are several other varieties, some might be better suited.
