Family Rosaceae
Originating from Japan
A dramatic ornamental cherry with weeping branches that arch to the ground when mature. In early spring, before the leaves emerge, it produces a profusion of almond-scented, pale pink/white flowers, and is one of the most floriferous of all the flowering cherries. Leaves turn orange/red in autumn.
Grow in moist but well-drained soil in sun/part shade.
Height and spread after 3 – 4 years 1.8m x 1.5
Semi mature height and spread after 8 – 10 years 2.5m x 3.5m
(The height of this tree is dependent on the clear stem, onto which the top growth is grafted, very little height is gained beyond this)
