Prunus Shirotae — 12L Container

Prunus 'Shirotae' (Mount Fuji) is a classic Japanese cherry, introduced in 1905. In April its horizontal, slightly pendulous branches are hung with drooping clusters of large, fragrant, single to semi-double white flowers, set off by the dark bark. Spreading and elegant, it holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

It grows to around 4m x 4m 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.
