'Pink Perfection' Cherry Blossom Tree
- 'Pink Perfection' does what it says on the tin, exploding with the most perfect fluffy, double pink flowers every spring, in one of the most stunning flower displays of any cherry blossom tree.
- Bred in the UK, 'Pink Perfection' grows to a very manageable 4x4m, making it a great choice for the front garden - because who wouldn't want to show it off?
- Emerald green foliage emerges in the spring as a vibrant backdrop to the blossom, then pulls a fiery autumn display out of its bag of tricks, with a medley of red, orange and bronze shades.
- This easy-going little tree is happy in any moist and well-drained soil (except chalk) and grows naturally into a neat, rounded shape.
- Let's talk blossom: the buds are dark pink and open into clusters of delicately-scented, rose pink pompoms. If you've got the space, team it with a white flowering cherry like 'Mount Fuji' or 'Tai-Haku' for maximum impact.
- It's also an RHS Award of Garden Merit winner (obviously).
- 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-Pots®, 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-Pot® made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery - but if you’d rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-Pot® to your basket along with your tree.
