The highlights

  • Narrow columnar form with upswept branches
  • Ideal for small spaces, growing to just 4x1m
  • Semi-double, fluffy pink flowers
  • Blossoms in April-May

Description

  • 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.

How To Grow

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.

Feeding not required
