Prunus Pink PerfectionOut of stock
Our new stock is growing! New stock will be available 1st September 2025.About this product
Prunus Pink Perfection is a super British-bred form of the widely planted and hugely popular Prunus Kanzan.
This stunning Japanese Cherry tree produces delicate, frothy, double pink flowers that are dark pink in bud, opening to a slightly paler pink and are borne in clusters in a classic “cherry blossom” style.
The leaves are fairly large and turn bright red in the autumn. Prunus Pink Perfection is not as vigorous as Prunus Kanzan, which is thought to be one of its parents. It forms a medium to large tree crown that is broadly oval in shape.
This British-bred beauty appeared on the commercial market from 1935 onwards and won the Award of Garden Merit in 2002.
Like most cherries, this lovely specimen tree prefers to be planted in well-drained soil, as it does not like getting its feet wet!
This spectacular small cherry has all of the super qualities of ‘Kanzan,’ yet it retains a small enough stature to be suitable for planting in smaller gardens.
It is a great choice for avenue planting and looks stunning if mixed with one of the popular white flowering cherries such as Taihaku or Umineko.
Mature height: 3-7m
