Description
- 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, semi-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 EcoPotsâ˘.
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching.
- Our mature trees are grown in Air-PotsÂŽ, the only type of pot to completely eliminate root circling. A unique design stimulates air pruning for a mass of healthy fibrous roots, which results in a healthy tree that will establish quickly in your garden. With each Air-PotÂŽ made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery - but if youâd rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-PotÂŽ to your basket along with your tree.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I canât wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. Itâs the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants đđą
