Mount Fuji Cherry

Picking a favourite cherry tree is incredibly difficult. But if we had to, then this wonderfully formed example, with its spreading horizontal habit full of semi-double snow-white flowers, would most certainly be a serious contender. Those fragrant flowers gracefully give way to the most exquisite shades of orange, gold and crimson in an Autumnal show that stands in contrast to virtually any backdrop. Hardy and deciduous, the Shirotae cherry will grow to 5 x 5 m and is ideal as a specimen or in group plantings.

Suitable for: Feature and group planting.

Features: Horizontal form, double snow white blossom mid-spring.

Botanical Name: PRUNUS serrulata Shirotae
