Okame Japanese Cherry Blossom Trees

Prunus x incam OkamC): Bareroot OkamC) Cherry Trees in Standard Sizes

Prunus Okame Cherry trees flower early, with red and pink blossom in March: after Accolade and before most other flowering cherries. The single, radiant pink blooms with purple-red centres cover the tree before its leaves appear. In autumn, the leaves turn into a warm range of colours, from peachy yellow to flushed red.

Okame is a short, bushy specimen tree that tends to branch low down. It can reach a height of about 5-10 metres. Very upright when young, it becomes quite round with maturity.

Delivery season: Cherry blossom trees are delivered bareroot during late autumn and winter, approximately November-March inclusive.
Choosing a size: Small trees are cheaper, easier to handle and more forgiving of less than ideal aftercare, so they are best for a big planting project. If instant impact is your priority, or if you are only buying a few plants for use in a place where it is convenient to water them well in their first year, then you may as well use bigger ones. All our bareroot trees are measured by their height in centimetres above the ground (the roots aren't measured).

• Soil: Any decently well drained
• Use: Specimen, small garden, urban
• Colour: Red and pink blossom in March
