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 Flowering Cherry Trees?

Flowering cherry trees are a favourite among New Zealand gardeners for good reason. In early spring, they burst into a cloud of breathtaking flowers, signalling the changing of the seasons and attracting bees and pollinators to your garden. Their architectural branching and colourful autumn foliage extend interest well beyond the bloom season. Flowering cherries thrive in most well-drained soils and prefer a sunny spot, making them a versatile choice for small urban gardens or larger rural landscapes.

Top Varieties of Flowering Cherry Trees for Sale

Our nursery offers a diverse selection of top-performing flowering cherry varieties. A standout favourite is the Prunus Accolade, celebrated for its semi-double deep pink blooms and graceful spreading habit. This variety creates a spectacular show from late winter into early spring and is well-suited to a variety of New Zealand climates.

While many flowering cherries are strictly ornamental, you may also be interested in edible cherry varieties that combine attractive blossoms with delicious fruit. Explore options like Cherry Rainier, highly prized for its large, sweet and yellow-tinged fruit, or the dependable Cherry Dawson with its dark red cherries perfect for fresh eating and preserving. If you’re seeking something unique, the vibrant Cherry Modesto and tangy Cherry Griotella Frumi offer both springtime blooms and tasty harvests.

How to Grow and Care for Flowering Cherry Trees

Plant your flowering cherry tree in a sunny, sheltered spot with fertile, well-drained soil. Proper spacing ensures good airflow and encourages healthy growth. Cherry trees benefit from an annual mulch in early spring and a light pruning after flowering to maintain shape and airflow. Thanks to their relatively compact size, many flowering cherry varieties are perfect for smaller gardens, courtyards, or as striking specimens in mixed borders.

The spotlight often lands on Lomandra 'Tanika' and Lomandra Frosty Tops, but Camellia 'Koto no Kaori', Hydrangea Limelight, and Clerodendrum ugandense (Butterfly Bush) deserve a standing ovation too.
