Growing Guide
Plant in a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly while establishing and during prolonged dry periods, particularly during the first growing season.
Apply a mulch each spring to help conserve moisture and improve soil structure, keeping it clear of the trunk. Pruning is generally minimal and should be limited to removing dead, damaged or crossing branches during summer to reduce the risk of disease.
Wildlife
The spring blossom provides an important nectar and pollen source for bees and other pollinating insects early in the gardening season.
Why We Love It
Ornamental cherries are among the highlights of the spring garden, producing memorable blossom displays that signal the arrival of the new growing season. A mixed selection offers the enjoyment of different flowering varieties while sharing the same reliable seasonal appeal.
