In April, the upswept branches are covered in clusters of striking white flowers, each with a delicate crimson centre.
The single, five-petalled flowers create a breathtaking spring display.
Its neat, columnar shape makes it an ideal choice for smaller gardens or avenue planting.
Enjoy a second burst of colour in autumn when the green leaves transform into fiery shades of red and orange.
A classic Prunus hybrid, first cultivated in the 1920s by the renowned cherry expert, Collingwood Ingram.
Arrives professionally pruned to encourage a strong, healthy shape and vigorous growth.
Delivered in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic, is fully recyclable, and promotes a healthier root system.

Species: Cherry blossom
Flowers: Snow white single flowers in April
Position: Full sun
Habit: Grows upright in a columnar fashion with a relatively contained crown - ideal for smaller spaces.
Eventual Spread: Spreads to an approximate maximum width of 2-4m.
Hardiness: H6 - Will survive even the coldest of UK winters (down to -20°C).
Soil: Cherry blossom trees like moist, well draining soil and tend to prefer a composition that's slightly acidic to neutral in pH. Avoid soil that's prone to waterlogging.
Pruning: Pruning in mid-summer may be required if affected by silver leaf. Prune in the dormant season (November-February) to maintain the shape.
Pests & Diseases: May need protection from caterpillars and leaf-mining moths. Cherry blossom trees are sometimes affected by silver leaf, bacterial canker or blossom wilt - you can prevent these infections by spacing trees apart well and maintaining good airflow through the branches by pruning out any that cross over.

Spacing: Plant 3-4m apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. As a container grown tree, it will need more watering until its roots are established. Water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year, its root system should be established enough to only require watering in dry spells. When watering, give it a good soaking rather than little and often, as this encourages deep root growth.
Feeding: This tree gets all the nutrients it needs from the soil. To give it a boost when newly planted, mix in some compost or well rotted manure and use an organic mulch around the tree to help with moisture retention and keep weeds down.
