Description
A compact tree that bursts into exceptional blooms to mark late winter and early spring, year after year.
Also known as the 'Fuji Cherry', with red buds that almost appear to dance around the branches, opening to reveal pale-pink flowers, each accented with a red centre.
Even ideal for a smaller garden or for pot growing on the patio, 'Kojo-no-Mai' provides autumn interest when the green leaves turn to a bright shade of reddish orange, before falling. The statuesque form of the tree is also a joy to observe on frosty mornings when a haw-frost shows it off to its very best.
Here available in an eye-catching 'standard' form, skilfully crafted into a lollipop shape with a tall, clear stem and a ball of foliage and flower at the top. This is a really unique and exciting way to bring colour and life into the garden. Perfect for growing in pots and containers on the patio, because of its standard form it will remain compact and can therefore be grown in even the smallest of spaces, such as terraces and balconies.
Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come. This is also recommended by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators'.
Plus, this is an excellent gift plant and we even do all the gift wrapping for you! Supplied gift wrapped in a brown hessian bag with a green fabric bow.
Supplied as an established standard tree, gift wrapped and roughly 90cm tall in a 3L pot, ready to plant or gift.
Top Tips
Best planted in autumn, from October to November choose a sheltered location (to protect the blossom when it emerges in the spring).
Care Information
- Dig a square hole as deep as the roots and approximately 1.5x as wide.
- Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the planting hole to help the plant establish quicker.
- Spread the roots gently and place into the planting hole.
- Mix well rotted compost or manure with the soil taken from the hole and then use to backfill around the tree. Keep well-watered until established.
- Keep the area free of competing weeds and protect the tree with a rabbit guard if necessary to protect your young cherry tree.
- Pruning your tree is not usually necessary unless you need to remove damaged or broken branches.
Delivery Information
Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
