Prunus Chocolate Ice Tree (12L, 5-6ft)

This beautifully flowering small feature tree gives its owner great pleasure! In the months of April and May, the tree puts on a grand display of flowers. The flowers blossom pure bright white, contrasting with its rich red and brown foliage. This new foliage then slowly fades into a dark green. Then bright bursts of oranges and reds delights in the autumn months.

Prunus 'Chocolate Ice' is a smallish tree that has an upright growing habit when it is newly planted, slowly spreading as the tree gets older. This tree compliments an open green lawn garden and is particularly exquisite in spring. An absolute show piece for your garden.

Your Flowering Cherry Tree grows to a height of 4m and a spread of 4m in a 20 year period. If you have limited space in your garden, this tree is ideal. The tree is hardy and suits most positions, including urban areas due to the fact that it can tolerate pollution. Try to avoid very wet or chalky shallow soils if possible.

This tree needs very little maintenance and although you can leave it to its own devices, a bit of pruning in its initial years will help create a beautifully balanced and established framework in your garden - taking centre stage as your garden's main attraction!
