Prunus Serrulata 'Kiku-Shidare Zakura'

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. 'Kiku-Shidare Zakura' or Weeping Flowering Cherry tree, is one of the smallest varieties, making it ideal for small spaces or container growing. Prunus 'Kiku-Shidare-Zakura', more commonly known as Cheals Weeping Cherry, has bright pink double flowers in Spring, and has bronze-coloured emerging foliage that turns green, and then in Autumn gives a good display of bronze and orange.
