Species: Plum blossom
Flower Colour: Large, semi-double, lightly scented pink blossom
Flowering Season: Early to Late Spring (March, April, May)
Foliage: Emerges bronze-purple, maturing to dark green
Position: Full sun
Habit: A well-shaped, bushy small tree
Eventual Height: 4m
Eventual Spread: 4m
Hardiness: Fully hardy in the UK (H5: -15 to -10°C)
Soil: Adapts to clay, loam, and sandy soil; avoid chalk. Prefers moist, well-drained conditions.

Planting Time: Can be planted at any time of year.
Spacing: Plant 3m apart to allow for its eventual spread.
Watering: Water in thoroughly upon planting. Bare root trees only require watering during dry spells. Water deeply and less frequently, rather than little and often, to encourage deep root growth.
Feeding: Not required. To give the tree a boost when planting, mix in some compost or well-rotted manure and apply an organic mulch to retain moisture.
Pruning: Prune lightly if required. Carry this out in midsummer to minimise the risk of silver leaf disease.
Pest & Disease: Good general resistance. To prevent potential issues like silver leaf or blossom wilt, ensure good air circulation, water at the base of the tree, and prune at the correct time of year.
