Prunus Serrulata

Prunus Serrulata Tree Size and Growth Habit

Prunus Serrulata grows up to 6 metres tall with a broad, rounded canopy. Its vibrant pink flowers appear in clusters during spring, creating a stunning floral display that attracts pollinators and enhances garden aesthetics. The tree’s moderate size makes it suitable for various garden styles and urban plantings. In autumn, the foliage turns warm shades of yellow and orange before leaf drop, providing additional seasonal interest.

Planting and Growing Prunus Serrulata in New Zealand

Plant your Prunus Serrulata in a sunny, sheltered location with well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Best planted during the winter months (June to August) to allow strong root establishment before spring growth. Regular watering is important during dry spells, especially for young trees. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and control weeds, encouraging vigorous growth.

Care and Maintenance for Prunus Serrulata

To maintain a healthy Prunus Serrulata, water regularly during dry periods and apply a balanced fertiliser early in spring to support flowering and growth. Light pruning after flowering will help preserve the tree’s natural shape and remove any dead or diseased wood. This variety shows good resistance to common pests and diseases found in New Zealand, making it a dependable choice for gardeners seeking low maintenance.
