Prunus ‘Amanogawa’ Tree (Flagpole Cherry) (12-Litre Pot)

The Prunus ‘Amanogawa’ Tree, also known as the Flagpole Cherry, grows in a tall columnar habit which makes it perfect for adding interest and colour to small spaces such as city and courtyard gardens.

The magnificent soft pink blossoms almost completely cover the branches of this Cherry Blossom tree. Enhancing the beauty of the blooms, the young foliage emerges in a wonderful coppery bronze colour, creating a vibrant display.

Growing in an upright and narrow shape, it is a great choice for underplanting to enhance its ornamental features once the flowers have faded. The foliage slowly changes to a mid-green through the summer, which acts as the perfect backdrop.

In autumn the tree’s magnificent shades come back to the fore, as autumnal orange and red foliage cover the tree. Its range of ornamental features that change with the seasons make it an excellent choice as a specimen tree to admire on its own, filling a small space, while its columnar shape means it also works well planted in groups for things such as avenue planting.

In addition to looking wonderful throughout the seasons, this tree is reliable and easy to grow. It has received the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit, in recognition of its consistent and healthy growth. So, you have peace of mind that this stunning Flagpole Cherry Tree can be admired and enjoyed for many years to come.
