Full Description
The Prunus Blossom Collection brings a beautiful display of flowering cherry trees to your garden. In spring, they bloom with lovely pink, white, and rose flowers that last for weeks. In autumn, their leaves turn bright shades of orange, red, and gold. These trees are great for any garden size, offering a mix of shapes and sizes.  For more information or to see what other forms are available just click on their names. Prunus ‘Beni-yutaka’: A medium sized, umbrella shaped, deciduous tree producing semi-double, disc shaped flowers in a unique sugar pink colour with a distinctive dark central eye in mid-late April. The green foliage turns rich crimson in autumn. Prunus ‘Felix Jury’ An upright, spreading early flowering tree producing deep pink flowers with contrasting golden yellow stamens. The green oval shaped leaves turn yellow-orange in autumn. Prunus 'Kanzan' This variety is known for its vibrant, double purple-pink flowers that bloom in late April. The copper-red spring foliage shifts to green, then bursts into orange by autumn. It grows vigorously, with an upright, spreading shape. Its bold colours and strong growth make it one of the most admired and recognizable varieties. Prunus 'The Bride' A large shrub or small tree with dense growth, featuring large single white flowers with striking red anthers. New bronze-green foliage turns fresh green in summer, then shifts to orange, red, and purple in autumn. An ideal choice for a small garden due to its vibrant seasonal display. The trees included in the Prunus Blossom Collection are bare root one year old maidens. Their eventual height can reach 3-4m depending on soil conditions and climate. As a bare root tree they will be despatched between November and March when they are dormant and will need pruning to the shape you require when planting. For information on how to prune click here.
Some FAQs

Tree Care

Your tree will have been pruned prior to despatch so there should be no need to prune straight away. The only exception is a bare root maiden which will not have been pruned. Some varieties will benefit from being pruned later – please see the variety specific information.

We would advise watering your tree when planting and then regularly during the first summer in the ground. Thereafter the level of watering will depend on the soil and weather conditions. It is best to not let young trees dry out.

A free booklet with simple instructions will be included with your order.

You can find more information in the ‘Advice’ section of our website. Click here for ‘How to Plant a Container Tree’ and here for ‘How to Plant a Bare Root Tree’.

Trees should always be planted as soon as possible. The only exception would be bare root trees if the soil is very frozen or waterlogged, in which case heel the trees in until the ground is ready. Bare root trees must be planted before new growth appears in spring, this is usually in March.

If your tree is to be kept in a container, then we’d advise repotting into a larger container as soon as possible. Please check to see whether the tree is suitable for a pot before purchasing.

Selecting the large box size may reduce the necessity for pruning on selected varieties. Any required pruning is conducted by our tree experts and will not have a detrimental effect on the tree.
