Cherry Dawson

The 'Dawson' Cherry produces large, black coloured fruit in summer. The fruit has red flesh that is sweet with a lovely flavour. It requires another variety planted alongside (“a pollinator”) to produce good fruit yields, such as 'Early Rivers' or 'Stella'. This deciduous tree grows upright to about 5 m tall and 3 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. Cherries require a cold winter to set fruit, hence they are less suited to regions where winters tend to be mild. The 'Dawson' Cherry is commonly used for fruit production and makes an attractive tree in its own right.

Why Choose a Cherry Blossom Tree?

A cherry blossom tree is more than just a beautiful addition to your landscape—it’s a seasonal showstopper and a magnet for native birds, bees, and garden admirers alike. These trees offer much more than spring colour. In autumn, their leaves often turn vibrant shades of red, orange and gold, making them a year-round feature in any backyard or urban courtyard. Many varieties, such as Prunus Accolade, are renowned for their long-lasting blossoms and attractive tree shape.

Selecting the Right Cherry Blossom Tree for Your NZ Garden

Choosing the right cherry blossom tree for your spot can depend on flower colour, flowering time, size, and your local climate. Popular ornamental varieties like Prunus Accolade offer abundant pale pink blooms and suit most regions of New Zealand.
