Prunus 'Shizuka'

flowering cherry blossom tree (syn. Prunus Fragrant Cloud)

Product Image
Large, highly scented semi-double flowers open white and become pink-flushed later in the spring. The award-winning 'Shizuka' is a medium, vase-shaped, deciduous tree with bronze-coloured spring foliage that turns mid-green in midsummer and then orange in the autumn.

How to care for Prunus Shizuka:

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.
