Why Choose Large Flowering Cherry Trees?

Large flowering cherry trees offer an unbeatable combination of ornamental beauty and practical value. In spring, these trees become the focal point of any landscape, dazzling with clouds of blush pink or alabaster white blooms. As they mature, they form graceful canopies that provide shade and structure, making them ideal as specimen trees along driveways, in feature lawns, or as anchors in larger gardens. Beyond their beauty, these trees also support local pollinators and encourage greater garden biodiversity.

Best Large Flowering Cherry Varieties

New Zealand gardeners can choose from a range of top-performing cherry trees renowned for their robust size and prolific flowering. One of the standout favourites is the Prunus Accolade, famed for its semi-double pink flowers and vigorous, upright habit. This exceptional variety delivers a long-lasting spring show and develops into an impressive, large tree, perfect for gardens seeking scale and impact.

For those interested in producing fresh cherries as well as springtime blooms, consider integrating ornamental flowering cherries alongside fruiting types such as Cherry Rainier, known for its sweet yellow and red bicoloured fruit; Cherry Dawson, an excellent cropping cultivar; Cherry Modesto with its outstanding flavour; or Cherry Griotella Frumi, popular for its tart, early-season harvests.

Planting and Care Tips

Position your large flowering cherry tree in a spot with full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. These trees appreciate a little shelter from harsh winds, especially while establishing. Dig a generous planting hole, enrich with compost, and water well after planting. Mulch the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, and stake young trees if your region is prone to wind. Prune minimally, removing only dead or congested branches during the dormant season.
