Description
The flowers of this elegant tree are beautifully snow white, and create a wonderful display in mid-spring. They flower profusely, with soft pure white petals that surround a cluster of long tasseled stamens. With its slender upright habit this is an ideal choice where space is limited and can be grown in a large pot on the patio. This Japanese Cherry Blossom would also make a fine specimen for a lawn or spring border where it can be underplanted with bulbs. In autumn, the normally green leaves turn rich shades of orange to purples, before they drop for the winter. Eventual height is 6-8metres tall and approximate spread is 3-4metres over a 10-20 year period.
