Cheal's Weeping Cherry Blossom Tree | Prunus 'Kiku-shidare-zakura'

This stand-out Japanese weeping cherry is a compact deciduous tree with fully double, deepest pink blossoms and superb autumn colour Kiku Shidare Zakura really punches above its weight! With a graceful, weeping form, it's covered in rose pink fluffy blossoms every April and May, with fresh green foliage that takes on a dazzling orange-red tone in autumn. With our largest option growing to a maximum height of just 3.2m or so, this is a perfect statement tree for small gardens, where it will be shown to its best advantage in a sunny lawn, bed or patio. Being a slow-growing tree, it also works wonderfully well in a container on a terrace or balcony. Easy to care for, Kiku Shidare Zakura grows naturally into a graceful dome without the need for formative pruning Highly pollution tolerant, this is a good choice for urban gardens and roadside planting Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE Please note that young trees often don't have a weeping shape, particularly when they arrive early in the year after being pruned - but hold tight and that unique form will develop over time Our mature trees are grown in Air-Pots®, the only type of pot to completely eliminate root circling. A unique design stimulates air pruning for a mass of healthy fibrous roots, which results in a healthy tree that will establish quickly in your garden. With each Air-Pot® made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery - but if you’d rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-Pot® to your basket along with your tree.
