Product Description
Japanese Pink Flowering Cherry / Prunus serrulata 'Kanzan'
3-5ft Tall, Potted
Very popular Cherry with large double deep pink flowers in March and May.A small deciduous tree with a short single trunk, with a dense crown reaching a height of about 8-12 m. The smooth bark is chestnut-brown, with prominent horizontal lenticels.
The leaves are arranged alternately, simple, ovate-lanceolate, 5-13 cm long and 2.5-6.5 cm broad, with a short petiole and a serrate or doubly serrate margin. At the end of autumn, the green leaves turn yellow, red or crimson. The flowers are produced in racemose clusters of two to five together at nodes on short spurs in spring at the same time as the new leaves appear; they are white to pink, with five petals in the wild type tree.
As with all trees from the prunus family, the leaves will start to appear autumnal and slightly shabby from mid-June onwards. This is not a disease, it is just a growth cycle with this type of tree.
