Prunus Shirotae grows up to 6 metres tall with a broad, rounded canopy. The tree produces clusters of pure white flowers in spring, creating a spectacular floral display. Its moderate size and elegant form make it perfect for a variety of garden styles and urban plantings. In autumn, the foliage turns golden-yellow before leaf drop, adding further seasonal interest.

Planting and Growing Prunus Shirotae in New Zealand

Plant your Prunus Shirotae in a sunny, sheltered location with well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.

This variety is well-suited to New Zealand’s climate and soil conditions.
