Accolade Pink Cherry Blossom 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™.
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.

Care Guide

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
