Cheal’s Weeping Cherry Blossom Tree | Prunus ‘Kiku Shidare Zakura’

• This stand-out Japanese weeping cherry is a compact deciduous tree with fully double, deepest pink blossoms and superb autumn colour
• Kiku Shidare Zakura really punches above its weight! With a graceful, weeping form, it’s covered in rose pink fluffy blossoms every April and May, with fresh green foliage that takes on a dazzling orange-red tone in autumn.
• Growing to a maximum height and width of 2.5m, this is a perfect statement tree for small gardens, where it will be shown to its best advantage in a sunny lawn, bed or patio. Being a slow growing tree, it also works wonderfully well in a container on a terrace or balcony.
• Easy to care for, Kiku Shidare Zakura grows naturally into a graceful dome without the need for formative pruning
• Highly pollution tolerant, this is a good choice for urban gardens and roadside planting
• Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
• Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
• Please note that young trees often don’t have a weeping shape, particularly when they arrive early in the year after being pruned – but hold tight and that unique form will develop over time
