Description

Prunus incisa f. yamadei is a small ornamental tree covered in an enchanting mass of single, white, small bell-shaped flowers. Prior to the flowers, the buds are pale green, as is the foliage, which adopts shades of orange and red in autumn. The leaves of this Fuji Cherry tree are deeply serrated (or incised, hence the scientific name). Small, deep red fruits sometimes appear.

This bushy, slow growing Cherry Blossom tree will reach an estimated height and spread of just 4 x 3 metres in 20 years and so is ideal for a very small space or for container growing. The Fuji Cherry will tolerate most soils but it’s best to avoid very wet or very dry conditions.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Flowering Cherry trees require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.

It is beneficial to carry out formative pruning for the first few years by creating a balanced branch framework and removing badly placed shoots. After two to three years, you will only need to remove any damaged or unwanted branches. On top grafted forms, very occasionally the grafted stem may produce shoots and these should be pruned back. The best time of year to prune Cherry Blossom trees is straight after flowering.
