Prunus serrulata cultivation notes: The ornamental cherry makes an ideal small tree in a lawn or border, providing a burst of spring blossom followed by much needed dappled summer shade. The flowering cherry will tolerate all but the harshest soils - avoiding water logged or chalk soils - and will grow in full sun or part shade. Allow this tree to grow freely as a specimen and avoid pruning if possible.

Plant Strengths: Attractive autumn colour; All round tough plant suitable for problem areas; Architectural plant – ideal as a ‘stand out’ plant; Tolerates cold exposed locations; Tolerates heavy clay soils.

Plant Weaknesses: Does not tolerate very dry or very wet soils.
