Prunus amanogawa, also known as Upright Cherry, is a well-used and recognised variety of small growing cherry trees; it won the Award of Garden Merit in 2002.
The profuse semi-double, shell pink flowers appear in late April and early May giving a stunning display of colour from toe to tip!
This Japanese cherry is known for its tightly columnar shape and to get the most from the flowering it is left with its lower branches on for maximum effect!
The young leaves are coppery bronze and appear on the tree after the flower, turning to flame orange and red in the autumn time.
Like most Japanese Cherry trees, Prunus amanogawa prefers a free draining soil and will not tolerate having "wet feet".
It is a useful tree where space is at a premium as it will not spread very much at all as it matures.
Mature height: 3-7m
