Stunning, pure white flowers that create a serene and elegant atmosphere, perfect for springtime beauty.
Graceful, medium-sized tree ideal as a focal point or in beds
Lush green foliage in the summer, followed by vibrant autumn colours, offering year-round interest.

In April and May the branches of this Ornamental Cherry are covered with cup shaped, snow white, semi-double flowers with a lovely fragrance. The blooms are borne in hanging clusters that make a delicate and elegant display. Pale green leaves cloak the branches in late spring, maturing to a darker green through the summer, before autumn sees them turn to brilliant orange and red. Prunus 'Shirotae' has a spreading habit with weeping branches during its early years, maturing to a more flattened, spreading crown. This a hardy, deciduous tree makes a showy centrepiece for a large lawn. Height and spread: 8m (26').

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Growing Information

Plant cherry trees in any well drained soil in a sheltered, sunny position. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the planting hole and drive the stake into the ground to support the tree. Staking after planting may result in damage to the root ball. Plant ornamental cherry trees at their original soil level and firm them into the ground. Fasten the tree to the stake using a tree tie, and water well.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
