Product details

This dainty Prunus Shimidsu Sakura, also known as Japanese Cherry or Shôgetsu was introduced very early in the 1900s.

It is gorgeous in flower and in my opinion the most attractive flowering cherry on the market, although Prunus Shirofugen comes a close second! A First Class Certificate winner in 1989, it also won the Award of Garden Merit.

A small tree with a broad, rounded habit, this is one of the most outstanding Japanese Cherries and one we strongly recommend for verges parks and gardens.

Prunus Shimidsu Sakura is a slow-growing, deciduous flowering ornamental cherry known for its stunning blooms. This versatile tree thrives in any sun exposure, whether sheltered or exposed, and adapts well to various soil types, including clay, chalk, loam, and sand.

The pink buds open to reveal large white petals sharply toothed at the fringe, which clothe the branches in long stalked clusters.

Mature height: 5-10m
