STAR OF THE MONTH

Prunus ‘Kanzan’

Some of you may be more sceptical and pessimistic but, without further ado, here we have the indisputable proof that better times are on our doorsteps. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the essence of springtime in one wonderful sugar coated image. A great gossiping gathering of gloriously garish cherry blossom fluttering in the spring breeze like a thousand sprites dressed in candy floss. This is a great tree for a medium sized garden the flowers are followed by fresh leaves which are a bronzy colour when young and turn well in the autumn. Everybody needs a blossom for a pillow.

Prune in summer if you need to maintain shape. Plant with lots of well rotted compost. Height x Spread 10m x 10m
