Flowering

Flowering
  • Beautiful weeping flowering cherry tree, ideal for confined spaces
  • Masses of single, snowy white blossoms in March-April
  • Autumn foliage turns vibrant oranges, yellows, and reds

Prunus Snow Showers is a stunning Weeping Flowering Cherry tree, perfect for small gardens or confined spaces, and an excellent choice for ornamental patio displays. This compact tree produces masses of single, snowy white flowers in early spring (March-April) that attract bees and create a delicate, snow-like appearance. In autumn, the mid-green foliage transforms into a spectacular display of oranges, yellows, and reds. Prunus Snow Showers, also known as Prunus Hillings Weeping, is a hardy tree that thrives in most soil types, except for very moist or shallow chalk soils. It is tolerant of pollution, making it suitable for urban gardens. This tree’s weeping habit and seasonal colour changes offer visual interest throughout the year, and it has earned a well-deserved place as a garden favourite.

How To Grow

  • Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil for optimal growth.
  • Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and the same depth as the root system.
  • Position the tree in the hole, backfill with soil, and firm gently.
  • Water well and add a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk.

To grow a flowering cherry tree, start by selecting a sunny, sheltered location with fertile, well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant your tree at the same depth it was growing in its container. Water thoroughly, then spread mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune only as needed to remove dead or damaged branches, and water regularly, especially in dry periods during the first few years. Feed annually with a balanced fertiliser to encourage stunning spring blooms.

Guide To Plant Sizes

Our ornamental trees arrive either as potted plants or bare-root trees, carefully selected for your garden. Here’s what to expect:

Potted Trees: Your tree will arrive potted, ready for planting. If you can't plant immediately, place the pot outdoors in a sheltered spot and water regularly to keep the soil moist.

Bare-Root Trees: Delivered during autumn or winter when ready for planting. If planting is delayed, keep the roots moist by covering them in soil in a cool location. Aim to plant within seven days of delivery.

Planting Tips:

  • In-Ground: Dig a hole slightly larger than the rootball. Place the tree at the same level it was in the pot or with the graft union just above the soil for bare roots. Backfill, add soil improver, firm in, and water well.
  • In Containers: Use a pot with drainage holes, layering stones at the bottom. Fill with quality compost, plant, and water well.

Seasonal Care: Plant hardy trees throughout the year, avoiding extremes. During winter, plants may arrive dormant or bare-root with no leaves. This is normal and encourages strong spring growth.

Water regularly during the first year, especially in dry periods. For bare-root trees, soak roots before planting. Add mulch in spring to retain moisture and nourish roots.
