Prunus ‘Okame’ Tree (Cherry Blossom) (12-Litre Pot)

The Prunus ‘Okame’ Tree is a wonderful variety of Cherry Blossom, that produces large quantities of glorious flamingo-pink flowers.

This early flowering tree produces a vibrant display that is coupled with a lovely fragrance and incredible dark green leaves. They are the perfect companions to the blooms and make this tree a wonderful way to welcome the start of spring in your garden.  

As the seasons change the foliage gradually turns to magnificent autumnal hues with a display of vibrant burnt oranges and rich reds.

A wonderful choice for planting in smaller spaces, as well as in larger gardens, it will create a magnificent focal point when planted on its own to admire its beautiful silhouette. It also has airy and spread-out growth, which creates dappled light around the base, making it a great choice for underplanting.

In addition to its wonderful appearance, this tree is easy to grow and a reliable performer in the garden. In recognition of this, it has received the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit.  

Plant this Prunus ‘Okame’ tree in full sun, in moist but well-drained soil. You will then be rewarded with many years of wonderful blooms, and foliage that transforms into wonderful autumnal hues.
