The highlights

  • Strong columnar tree
  • Medium tree - grows up to 6m
  • Gorgeous large white single flowers
  • Blossoms in April

Description

  • 'Snow Goose' is a truly delightful cherry blossom, with large single white flowers and ovate green foliage that turns fiery bronze later in the year
  • Naturally slim and with ascending branches, this upright variety (which grows to a height of 6m) is ideal for gardens more limited on space
  • Masses of glorious flowers with ice white petals and dark burgundy centres blossom freely in April
  • A hardy tree that will survive the coldest of winters and thrive in almost all soils except for those with poor drainage
  • Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post
  • Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch
  • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth

How To Grow

Good pest and disease resistance

May need protection from caterpillars and leaf-mining moths. Cherry blossom trees are sometimes affected by silver leaf, bacterial canker or blossom wilt - you can prevent these infections by spacing trees apart well and maintaining good airflow through the branches by pruning out any that cross over.

Water in well

Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly, only in dry spells when needed. You should be able to tell because the leaves will start to wilt and droop. If a container grown tree, it will need more watering until its roots are established. It should be watered every other day or so for the first few months. Then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year it should have an established enough root system to support itself, just water when required as explained above for bare roots. When watering a tree it is important to give a good soaking. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often as this encourages the roots to grow down into the ground.

Full sun

Cherry blossom trees perform best when they receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. They prefer a sheltered spot as windier locations can remove the tree's blossom.

Moist and well drained soil

Cherry blossom trees like moist, well draining soil and tend to prefer a composition that's slightly acidic to neutral in pH. Avoid soil that's prone to waterlogging.

Feeding not required

This tree gets all the nutrients it needs from the soil. To give it a boost when newly planted, mix in some compost or well rotted manure and use an organic mulch around the tree to help with moisture retention and keep weeds down.
