Prunus 'The Bride'

flowering cherry blossom tree (syn. Prunus incisa 'The Bride')

Product Image
The flowers of this small, shrubby tree are exquisite, and create a wonderful display in mid-spring. Larger than many of the other ornamental cherries, they have pure white petals, which surround a contrasting cluster of distinctive red anthers.

Ideal for growing in a container, Prunus 'The Bride' will also make a fine specimen for a lawn or spring border where it can be underplanted with bulbs. In autumn, the normally green leaves turn rich autumn shades before they drop.

The crown of this small tree is naturally dense and twiggy. For a more 'tree-like' shape, choose for the top worked option, which has been grafted onto the upright stem of a single-stemmed rootstock at a height of 45cm.

How to care for Prunus The Bride:

When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Prune in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf and bacterial canker. Cut back any dead, diseased or crossing branches.

Please note: The decorative pot shown is not included and is for presentation purposes only. Our trees are supplied in standard nursery pots, and the images showing young trees in pots are intended to give an idea of our larger plant’s height and form on arrival. We do offer a wide range of decorative pots separately if you’d like to recreate the look, although for long-term success, trees are best planted in the ground.
