- Position: Full sun
- Soil: Moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: Average
- Flowering period: April to May
- Hardiness: Fully hardy
- Garden care: Bare root plants should be planted out as soon as they arrive. If this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily (covering their roots with soil) or potted up. Before planting, soak the rootball in a bucket of water for half an hour and make sure to incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole. Stake firmly in exposed positions and keep the base of the tree weed free. Fertilise at the beginning of each year and water regularly during hot, dry spells.
Choose a sheltered spot to protect emerging blossom. Prune in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf and bacterial canker.
An upright tree offering year-round beauty in your garden. From late April to mid-May, Prunus ‘Umineko’ is covered in single white flowers, resembling a cloud with pink-tinted stamens as they mature. The mid-green ovate leaves persist until winter when they put on a fiery show of orange to purple-reds. This variety is tolerant of pollution and highly suitable for avenue, park, and street planting, making a striking single specimen focal point that will fill an outdoor space with lasting greenery and stunning blooms.
