Prunus Okame

Prunus Okame Tree Size and Growth Habit

Prunus Okame grows up to 6 metres tall with a rounded canopy. It produces abundant bright pink flowers before most other cherry varieties, signalling the start of spring. The tree’s moderate size and attractive shape suit a variety of garden styles and urban settings. In autumn, its foliage turns golden-yellow before leaf drop, adding seasonal interest.

Planting and Growing Prunus Okame in New Zealand

Plant Prunus Okame in a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil. Best planted in winter (June to August) to establish roots before spring growth. Regular watering during dry spells and mulching around the base will support healthy development. This variety tolerates a range of soils but thrives in fertile, slightly acidic to neutral conditions.

Care and Maintenance for Prunus Okame

Water regularly during dry periods and apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to encourage vigorous growth and flowering. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain shape and remove dead or damaged branches. Prunus Okame shows good resistance to common pests and diseases, making it a low-maintenance choice for NZ gardeners.
