Prunus ‘Shirotae’ Tree (Japanese Cherry) (12-Litre Pot)

The Prunus ‘Shirotae’, or Japanese Cherry Tree, is a magnificent small and wide spreading tree that grows an enchanting silhouette. This is coupled with masses of fragrant semi-double flowers that cover the branches in spring, and leaves that transform into glorious autumnal hues of crimson and burnt orange.

This Cherry Blossom has a beautiful oriental style frame with slightly weeping branches, that grow almost horizontally as the tree matures. While the vibrancy of the young green foliage, it contrasts perfectly with the clusters of brilliant white scented flowers.

To get the most from your Cherry Blossom Tree, plant it in full sun, in moist but well-drained soil. You will then be rewarded with many years of wonderful blooms, and foliage that changes throughout the seasons.
