Planting & Care

A stunning and adaptable weeping cherry blossom with a cascading growth pattern.
In March and April, the branches are smothered in fragrant, pure white single flowers that resemble snow flurries.
Provides year-round interest, with bright green summer leaves turning to fiery shades of red, yellow, and orange in autumn.
Its compact size, reaching approximately 3 x 3m, makes it ideal for front gardens, mixed borders, or large patio containers.
Despite a delicate appearance, this is a hardy, pollution-resistant tree that can even handle waterlogged conditions.
Branches can be left to drape gracefully to the ground or trimmed to a desired length.
Your tree is expertly pruned before shipping to encourage a better shape and stronger growth.
The signature weeping form will develop as the young tree matures.

Species: Cherry blossom
Features: Fantastic foliage, Wildlife benefactor
Flowering Season: Early spring, Late spring
Flowering Time: March, April, May
Flower Colour: Single, snowy white blossoms
Foliage Colour: Green, Red
Position: Full sun
Habit: A small tree with long weeping branches
Eventual Spread: Spreads approx 3m
Hardiness: Fully hardy, will survive even the coldest of UK winters.
Soil Type: Adapts to clay, loam and sandy soil, but avoid chalk soils.
Pest & Disease Resistance: May need protection from caterpillars and leaf-mining moths. Cherry 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.

Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Spacing: Plant 3m apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly, only in dry spells when needed. You should be able to tell because the leaves will start to wilt and droop. If a container grown tree, it will need more watering until its roots are established. It should be watered every other day or so for the first few months. Then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year it should have an established enough root system to support itself, just water when required. When watering a tree it is important to give a good soaking. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often as this encourages the roots to grow down into the ground.
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.
Pruning: Prune annually. Pruning in mid-summer may be required if affected by silver leaf. Prune in the dormant season (November-February) to maintain the shape.
