Flagpole Cherry Blossom Tree | Prunus Amanogawa

For the smallest of gardens

The Highlights

    • Think your garden is too small for a cherry blossom? Amanogawa's slender form makes it possible!
    • Growing to 4m high and just 1m wide, it's ideal for small spaces or planting in rows.
    • Spring is when the magic happens and every inch of those narrow, upswept branches is packed with fluffy, pink semi-double flowers with a delicate, sweet fragrance
    • The fresh jade-green foliage transforms in autumn to a fiery display of bright reds and oranges before falling and revealing the elegant silhouette of the bare branches
    • Amanogawa is pollution tolerant and happy in most soils, making it a great choice for urban areas and streetside planting
    • RHS Award of Garden Merit winner - unsurprisingly
    • 'Amanogawa' means 'river of the sky' in Japanese. The Amanogawa cherry blossoms originally grew along the banks of the Arakara River that flows through Saitama Province and Tokyo in Japan.
    • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE

Care Guide

Good pest and disease resistance

May need protection from caterpillars and leaf-mining moths. Cherry trees are sometimes affected by silver leaf, bacterial canker and blossom wilt.MORE

A little watering when new

When newly planted, your tree will need a little watering at least once a month for the initial couple of months. Afterwards keep moist but well drained.

Full sun

This cherry tree loves full sun exposure or a sheltered location, allowing all the nutrients to create blossom in your garden. Choosing a spot away from strong winds will help all the tree's resources to go towards growing and maintaining the blossom.

Any moist, well-draining soil except chalk

Adapts to clay, loam and sandy soil, but avoid chalk soils.
