Prunus Okame — 12L Container

Prunus 'Okame' is a lovely early cherry raised by Collingwood Ingram and introduced in 1947. In March it is covered in small, shell-pink single flowers, a great early source of nectar for bees. The leaves turn orange and red in autumn. Rounded and bushy, it holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

It grows to around 2.5m x 2.5m after 10 years. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil; it tolerates most soils, including chalk and clay. Little pruning is needed, but any that is required should be done in summer, when the risk of silver leaf is lowest.

Each tree is hand-selected before dispatch.
