Happy and hardy in any decent well-drained soil in full sun, Prunus Shirotae is as hardy as it is beautiful, gracing both medium and large gardens. Mostly trouble-free and low-maintenance, flowering cherries bring joyful blossoms in sunny cottage, country, suburban and wildlife gardens. Alternatively, create charming focal points in long beds, spreading lawns and wildflower meadows. 4-8m x 4-8m
Plant our young potted trees at any time of year. Bare root trees should be planted when dormant between November and April. We supply root ball trees from October – May, the correct season for planting. Avoid planting when the ground is excessively wet or frozen. Remember, trees normally reach their ultimate height and spread within 20-50 years depending on species so give it ample growing room.
A delightful problem-free deciduous tree that needs little pruning but you can tidy them up in February or March if needed by removing any unwanted crossed branches or dead, damaged or diseased stems. Some fruit trees including apple, apricot, cherry and plum can suffer from a fungal disease called Silverleaf which makes leaves silver and shrivel and infects the bark which makes twigs and boughs die. Should you spot Silverleaf, delay pruning until July or August when the disease is not so widespread and always use clean sharp secateurs to prevent spreading the disease.
