Prunus Pink Perfection Tree (12L, 5-6ft)

The Flowering Cherry tree, Prunus 'Pink Perfection', creates a delightful focal point in a garden. It offers masses of double flowers between April and May, ranging in a pink palette from pale candy floss to deeper pink-purple. The flowers open up from rounded red buds and have a lovely delicate frilly edge.

New foliage appears in spring behind the blossoms, contrasting in a warm bronze hue which deepens into a green over the summer. In autumn, the leaves turn to vibrant shades of yellow, orange and red and fall in the winter.

If you are looking for the perfect pink cherry blossom tree, this is it! The tree is full hardy and will tolerate most soil types apart from very wet or chalky soils. It it also tolerant of pollution, making it ideal for urban gardens. Grow if possible in full sun to get the most colourful spring and autumn displays.

Prunus 'Pink Perfection’ grows with an upright, spreading vase-form and has slender branches that become pendulous at their tips. It will reach a height of 5m and a spread of 3m in a 20 year period.

Plant the Flowering Cherry tree as an ornamental accent tree in a smaller garden. It will attract birds, insects and butterflies, bringing movement and sound into your living space. If you have a long driveway that looks bare and unloved, plant rows of Flowering Cherry trees along either side and you will soon have a fiesta of colour.
