Need help picking?

Choosing the right size
Cherry blossoms will do well in most well drained, sunny sites but you will need to make sure you've got enough space. In a big garden, it has to be a large Kanzan (pink) or Tai-Haku (white) - they’re simply spectacular. For small to medium gardens we would recommend Accolade (pink) or The Bride (white), and for pots or smaller spaces the dwarf weeping variety Ivensi (white) or Kursar (pink).

Upright or weeping?
Most flowering cherries grow in the traditional upright tree shape, while some have a weeping habit, such as the Yoshino and Kiku-Shidare. A great way to save space is to choose a columnar cherry such as Amanogawa. Use the filter below to help find what you’re looking for. Young cherry blossom trees will benefit from supporting with a stake, but no pruning is necessary.

It’s all about the blossom
For the boldest pink blossom go with Kanzan, and for dazzling white choose Tai-Haku, or filter below by your favourite colour. Most trees blossom in March/April, but Blushing Bride extends that into May and Autumnalis Rosea flowers from November-March. Top tip: avoid planting in exposed windy spots so the blossom doesn’t all get blown away! For something different, check out the purple foliage of Black Cherry Plum or the peeling bark of the Tibetan Cherry.

The History of Japanese Cherry Blossom Trees
In its native Japan, the blossom of the cherry tree (or Sakura) plays an important part in the country’s culture and tradition. As the blossoms last for only a few weeks, they are seen as a symbol of the fleeting but joyful nature of life, and are celebrated with Hanami. This is a tradition dating back to the third century, in which people gather beneath the Sakura trees with friends and family to eat, drink and observe the beauty of the blossom. Originally the blossom season signalled the start of the rice planting season, and so people made offerings to the gods of the Shinto faith, who were believed to live in the trees. During the Second World War, Sakura came to symbolise the brief but glorious lives of young soldiers, who painted cherry blossoms on their aircraft as a good luck charm. Since the end of the war, Japan has gifted thousands of cherry blossom trees to other nations as a symbol of lasting peace.
Cherry Blossom Tree FAQs
What is the best weeping cherry blossom?
The best all round weeping cherry is Kiku-Shidare, a compact tree with masses of double pink flowers in May.
What is the best cherry blossom for small gardens?
For smaller gardens, you can’t beat Accolade, which grows up to 4m tall and holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
What is the upright cherry blossom I see everywhere called?
That would probably be Flagpole, which is narrow and compact, great for smaller spaces or growing in rows.
What is the earliest flowering cherry blossom?
Kick off cherry blossom season before your neighbours with Accolade, which can burst into bloom from March onwards.
Where should I plant a cherry blossom tree?
Cherry blossom trees are happiest in a sunny spot with soil that is rich and fertile. You should also select a sheltered spot so that you don't lose your blossom to strong winds!
How do I care for a cherry blossom tree?
It is very easy to maintain your cherry blossom tree once it is planted and properly established - they may just need watering that little bit extra during dry periods in summer.
Should I prune a cherry blossom tree?
Pruning your tree every year is essential for maintaining their shape and promoting healthy growth.
When should I plant a cherry blossom tree?
When planting bare root trees, we’d advise to do so between November and March. Potted trees on the other hand can be planted anytime, but it’s best to avoid the winter months.
How long do cherry blossom trees live?
Most cherry trees, regardless of variety, have an average lifespan of 15-30 years. Quite short, but very sweet.
Can I eat cherry blossom?
You can eat the blossom! Cherry blossoms from UK varieties are edible and they can be pickled and used as ingredients for sweets and baking.
