Prunus 'Fragrant Cloud'

Prunus 'Fragrant Cloud' is known for its deep, rich scent that wafts from the full, white, semi-double petalled flowers. These blooms appear in May, slowly fading to a pale pink colour. The foliage progresses from a bronze colour to a darkish green and eventually a fiery orange in the autumn months - making a spectacular display.

Fragrant Cloud is a fully hardy, medium sized tree growing to heights of around 8m and a spread of around 6m in a 20 year period. This Flowering Cherry Tree has a strong spreading habit which is best suited for medium to large gardens.

This is a low maintenance, tough and tolerant tree. It holds up well against pollution and will thrive in almost any soil types apart from very wet, shallow or chalky soil. Plant in full sun where possible. Prunus 'Fragrant Cloud' needs little maintenance and you can leave it to its own devices. A bit of pruning in its initial years will help create a beautifully balanced shape that will enhance any garden.

Giving a tree as a gift makes a wonderful, sentimental and thoughtful statement. Offer a Prunus 'Fragrant Cloud' and delight a loved one on a special occasion.
