Prunus Ichiyo

Prunus Ichiyo Details

Prunus Ichiyo is a variety of Flowering Cherry that features masses of double, shell pink flowers through spring. These are held off graceful branches and coat the tree with showy blooms. New foliage in spring is a distinctive bronze colour, which ages to mid-green, then develops colourful yellow and orange tones in autumn before falling. This deciduous tree grows with a vase shape to about 5 m tall and 4 m wide, and performs best when planted in a full sun position on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and periods of dry. Prunus Ichiyo is a stunning tree when in flower and makes a fine addition to any garden. It is commonly used in avenue plantings, grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting, or included in Japanese and cottage gardens.
