A superb tree for street and urban planting.

A superb small tree for street and urban plantings.

Often referred to as the Fuji Cherry, its dainty small leaves turn wonderfully in the autumn to orange and red.

It does not benefit from being planted in waterlogged soils.

This is a small to medium sized tree with a narrow, columnar habit, and its pink-white single flowers are freely produced in April, along with the foliage.

It is fairly similar to Prunus Okame as they share the same parentage.

Mature height: 5-10m
