A tree that has been grown in the field and then lifted out of the ground when dormant. Available from November to March. The roots are more open and the direct contact with the soil encourages them to settle in and establish more readily.
These are 2yr old trees that have been grown 1yr in the field and the second in a pot. Container trees can be planted at any time of the year but establish best when planted during the autumn and need to be watered well during the first summer.
Prunus trees, also known as flowering cherry trees, contain a wonderfully diverse range of deciduous and evergreen trees for the garden. Beautiful white or pink flowers ranging from winter to mid-summer. Some cherry blossom tree varieties have a spectacular display of autumn colours.
These ornamental cherry trees are easy to grow on almost any well-drained soil but prefer chalk to acid. Prunus trees can be thinned out of some of the branches after flowering to encourage replacement growth. Our wide selection of cherry blossom trees for sale offers small, medium, and large varieties with various habits, so we have one to suit every garden!
You may quite often see prunus trees planted in public spaces, like parks or avenues. They are long-lived, robust and have a real presence when mature. The bees love the flowers!
There are over 400 species of cherry blossoms within this genera and we list a selection of the most diverse and suitable for gardens including Japanese flowering cherries. Japanese cherry blossom trees are a distinctive group of varieties separate from those mentioned already due to their country of origin, their age stretching as far back as 1000 years. In Japan, they are known as Sato-zakura meaning ‘village-cherries’.
