Flowering Cherry Tree 'Kiku-Shidare-Zakura'
- Elegant weeping cherry with striking double pink spring blossoms
- New bronze-tinted foliage turns green by summer, adding seasonal interest
- Perfect focal point with unique bark texture, ideal for smaller gardens
The Prunus Kiku shidare zakura, also known as Cheal’s Weeping Cherry, makes a stunning focal point with clusters of double pink flowers that smother its graceful, weeping branches in spring. Young bronze-tinted leaves add a striking contrast to the blossoms before maturing to green in summer. This ornamental cherry tree is treasured for its year-round interest, thanks to attractive bark and vibrant autumn colours. Though related to edible cherries, it is primarily grown for its beauty and seasonal display.
Rootstock: Colt
Age of tree at despatch: 2 years
Height at full growth: 4m/13ft
Most of our trees are delivered as bare-rooted specimens with an approximate height of 3.5ft - 5ft (105cm - 140cm), depending on the variety.
In case planting is delayed due to waterlogged or frozen soil, store the tree in a frost-free, airy space, keeping roots just moist in damp compost. For best results, prune in summer to prevent silver leaf disease.
To ensure successful pollination, select fruit trees from the same or adjacent flowering groups.
The majority of trees we ship have been pruned and may appear trimmed.
