Prunus Shirotae

Mount Fuji Cherry

Named after Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji, Prunus Shirotae is a small, deciduous tree with a weeping habit when young, taking on the typical flat-topped, spreading Japanese cherry appearance as it matures. It is one of the earliest Japanese flowering cherries to bloom, covered in mid-April with large, pure white, scented, semi-double flowers, 5cm across, before the leaves emerge. The leaves are mid-green with a serrated edge, turning yellow and orange in autumn. Holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
