Overview

Prunus is a hugely important ornamental genus, encompassing many of the most loved spring-flowering trees and shrubs—particularly flowering cherries, plums and related forms. Offered here as a selection of varieties, the plant supplied may vary in blossom colour, flower form, habit and final size, but all provide that unmistakable Prunus blossom season moment.

Key Features

• Spectacular spring blossom (timing and colour vary by variety)
• Many varieties offer attractive bark, autumn colour, or ornamental fruit
• Excellent for pollinators during bloom
• Useful across garden styles: contemporary, cottage, woodland-edge and formal
• A classic choice for feature planting and seasonal drama

Best Position

• Full sun for best flowering and form (light shade tolerated)
• Fertile, well-drained soil; improve heavy soils with organic matter
• Shelter from very exposed, windy positions to protect blossom

How to Plant

Dig a generous planting hole, loosen the soil, and incorporate organic matter. Plant at the same depth as in the pot, firm in, water well, and mulch the root zone. Water regularly during the first growing season.

Care & Pruning

• Keep evenly watered while establishing; avoid waterlogged winter soil
• Feed in spring if growth is weak; mulch annually to maintain soil health
• Pruning is usually light—remove dead, damaged or crossing branches
• For many Prunus, pruning is best done in summer after flowering to reduce disease risk and promote good healing

Size & Growth

Final size and habit depend on the variety supplied (ranging from compact small trees to larger specimens). If you need a specific ultimate size, choose a named variety.
