Prunus Serrulata 'Amanogawa'
Flowering Cherry Tree 'Amanogawa'
Prunus serrulata, or Japanese Flowering Cherry, is a small deciduous tree that bears clusters of pink or white flowers in Spring at the same time the leaves emerge. Grown for the display of blossom, the tree also gives Autumn interest when the leaves turn to shade of yellow, orange and red. Prunus Serrulata 'Amanogawa' is a small flowering Japanese cherry with very narrow, pillar-shaped growth and large semi double pink flowers which smell of almonds in late mid-spring. This tree is a popular tree for very small gardens as it is so narrow, rarely exceeding 2m (6ft) wide with an overall height of 6m (20ft). The flowers stand straight on the branches and the young leaves are yellowish bronze.

Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Cherries prefer deep, fertile and well-drained soil with pH 6.5-6.7. They dislike shallow, sandy or badly drained soils. Acid cherries tolerate some shade and are suitable as fan-trained trees against north-facing walls or fences, or as open centred bush trees. Best planted in full sunlight.
Flowering
From Early Spring TO Late Spring
Flowering cherries produce their wonderfully abundant display of flowers in Spring
