Prunus 'Collingwood Ingram'
flowering cherry blossom tree
This small Japanese cherry tree erupts with elegant bronze-tinged foliage in spring that matures to green in summer before turning lovely shades of orange and yellow in autumn. It’s a slender, columnar cultivar which unveils a plethora of dainty yet deep pink single blossoms in mid spring that offer a stunning floral display against its fresh spring foliage. With its graceful, erect habit, disease resistance, and adaptability to various soils, 'Collingwood Ingram' is an award winning (RHS) winning cherry tree ideal for small gardens needing a flowering focal point.
How to care for Prunus Collingwood Ingram:
When planting your ornamental cherry, prepare a hole up to three times the diameter of its root system. Fork over the base of the pit in readiness, incorporating plenty of organic matter into the backfill and planting hole. Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out as they arrive. If you've ordered a bare root tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for half an hour prior to planting, or if this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily, covering their roots with soil, or potted up. Choose a sheltered spot to protect emerging blossom. Lightly prune in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf and bacterial canker, to retain an open ‘goblet' shape and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.
