Shirofugen Cherry Blossom, Large Trees

Prunus Shirofugen: Bareroot Shirofugen / Fugenzo Cherry Trees in Standard Sizes

Prunus Shirofugen is a beautiful, spreading tree that is wider than it is tall when mature, with a distinctive flat canopy. In our range, the Shirofugen Cherry is the latest to come into bloom, with flowers that sometimes last into June. The large, double, fragrant white blossom open from pink buds and darken into pink again just before they fall. These contrast very well against the rich, copper coloured young leaves.
Shirofugen can reach a height of about 8-10 metres.

Delivery season: Shirofugen Cherry 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).
