Flamboyant Early Spring Display

Add a burst of spring elegance to your garden with the Fuji Cherry (Prunus incisa) – a celebrated ornamental tree renowned for its prolific early blooms and compact size.

• The Fuji Cherry is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to Japan, prized for its clouds of delicate white blossoms tinged with pink that appear in early spring before the leaves emerge.
• This variety is a magnet for pollinators, providing an essential nectar source for bees at a crucial time of year.
• As the seasons change, enjoy a second spectacle: autumn foliage turns brilliant orange and red, extending your garden's visual interest well beyond spring.

• Compact & Manageable: With a mature height and spread of up to 250cm (98”), the Fuji Cherry fits perfectly into smaller gardens or patio containers.
