Accolade Pink Cherry Blossom Tree

Early blooming hardy tree

The Highlights

    • Neat and slender Accolade is the perfect flowering cherry tree for a small garden - plant it as a feature tree in a lawn or front garden border
    • One of the earliest to bloom in spring, with rich pink buds opening into clusters of fragrant, fully double pink and white flowers throughout March and April
    • Vibrant autumn colour with an eyecatching mix of red and amber tones
    • RHS Award of Garden Merit winner for its looks and ease of growing
    • Naturally forms an airy canopy which doesn't cast too much shade - great for underplanting with perennials or bulbs
    • In a mild year you might get a few bonus flowers in autumn and winter! 
    • Looks delicate, is actually hard as nails - this fully cold tolerant tree thrives in all but chalky soils and is rarely bothered by pests or diseases. It will flower best in a sheltered spot with around 6hrs of sunlight daily
    • Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
    • Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
    • 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

Know Your Plant

Supplied as:

Bare Root
Our trees are supplied as “bare roots” meaning that the roots of the trees are established below the ground but not actively growing (dormant) between November and March. As bare roots are stored without any soil or pot, they will easily settle themselves when in contact with soil in your garden. Don't panic if your tree is not showing any sign of growth above the ground come April, as it's still in the dormant phase.
9L Eco Pot
This tree is supplied in a 9L Eco Pot, which is approx D15 x H30cm. Eco Pots use 70% less plastic then traditional pots and can be recycled easily. A 9L pot allows ample space for good root development and can support a good size tree.

Care Guide

Average Pest/ Disease Resistance

May need protection from caterpillars, leaf-mining moths and bullfinches and be affected by silver leaf, bacterial canker and blossom wilt.MORE

A little watering when new

When newly planted, the trees would love 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 and a sheltered location. Choosing a spot away from strong winds helps the tree direct its resources towards growing more blossom and protects the petals.

Happy in moist and well drained soil but for chalk

Adapts to clay, loam and sandy soil

Prune Annually

Pruning in mid-summer may be required if affected by silver leaf
