Prunus × Yedoensis | Bare Root

A spreading, pink flowering ornamental cherry tree . Position: full sun Soil: tolerates most soils Rate of growth: average Flowering period: March to April Hardiness: fully hardySpreading branches that are clothed in a profusion of lightly scented soft pink flowers, appear just before the foliage in spring, creating a graceful, umbrella-like effect. It looks its best when planted in an open spot, where its striking silhouette won’t be compromised by its neighbours – and that makes it ideal for specimen planting in a lawn. For additional seasonal colour, you could underplant Prunus × yedoensis with spring-flowering bulbs. Garden care: When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Prune in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf and bacterial canker, cutting back any dead, diseased or crossing branches.
