Japanese Weeping Cherry
Prunus Kiku shidare-zakura
This is a magnificent, strong growing ornamental weeping tree which becomes showered with clusters of large, fully double, deep pink blooms that emerge from pink buds from April to May. It has bronze young leaves, turning to glossy green as they mature and makes a great specimen tree for the centre of a lawn in smaller gardens. Commonly known as the Japanese Weeping Cherry, it’s perfect for incorporating into Japanese-styled gardens and looks fabulous alongside cascading water or grown as a patio tree.
