Prunus Pandora Tree (12L, 5-6ft)

Bring a burst of colour into your garden in spring and add to the wonderful feeling of a new and fresh start to the year.

Prunus 'Pandora' has an upright habit and forms a lovely compact fan shape, ideal for a smaller garden or a restricted space that needs some attention.

It offers flowers early in spring when it produces masses of single, pale pink blossoms. The flowers come from red buds and slowly fade to white hues as they mature. The flowers are packed onto dark brown branches creating an eye-catching look. They are popular with bees and pollinating insects, bringing movement and sound into your garden. The young leaves are a bronzy-red and turn to a mid-green in the summer. As autumn approaches, they put on a show, becoming vibrant shades of deep red and orange before falling.

Your Flowering Cherry Tree is tolerant of most soil types but does not enjoy very wet or chalky areas. It is fully hardy and can be planted in full sun. In a 20 year period it will grow to a columnar 5m height with a 3m spread. This elegant ornamental tree makes a great focal point in a garden, heralding the arrival of spring! It holds an RHS Award of Garden Merit.
