Prunus Falling Snow

Prunus Falling Snow is a variety of Flowering Cherry grown for its pendulous growth and fantastic flowering. It features masses of single, white flowers which are borne before the foliage emerges. The foliage emerges a fresh green colour in spring, ages to dark green, then develops yellow, orange, and red tones in autumn before falling. The branches are held with a pendulous manner as it grows to 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide. Prunus Falling Snow is a stunning tree and is commonly used in smaller gardens, grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting, included in Japanese and cottage gardens, or planted around outdoor living areas.

What does Prunus Falling Snow need to grow well?

Prunus Falling Snow grows best when positioned in full sun on a well-drained soil. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, coastal environments, and humid climates. Wind protection is important to ensure a better formed tree that will grow and flower prolifically. These trees do not do well on poorly drained sites or with continued over-watering.

How to care for the Prunus Falling Snow tree

Caring for the Prunus Falling Snow tree is simply about getting a few easy things right so the tree thrives. They prefer a sheltered spot in either full sun or part shade. A well-drained and fertile soil is crucial for success. Adding organic matter like compost into the soil during planting will help with soil fertility. They prefer a moist soil so consistent watering is essential, especially during dry periods but be careful to avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot. Applying tree fertiliser in spring will keep the plants well-fed for the year. Any trimming should be undertaken in autumn or early spring which is mostly about shaping the tree. Applying mulch around the base of the plant helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. The Plant Company recommends trees are staked to give them that extra bit of support. Monitor for pests like scale insect and diseases like powdery mildew and treat as needed with an appropriate agrichemical if you think it is needed.
