Description
Grown for its gorgeous, springtime displays, this flowering Cherry Almond Tree will fill your garden with year-round interest. 'Prunus triloba' is a compact tree and is a perfect choice for smaller gardens, it produces double, bowl-shaped blossom in early spring, filling the air with perfume. Fruits for wild birds to feast on arrive in late summer, but the colour changing foliage looks great throughout, concluding with a riot of autumnal bronze. Skilfully fashioned as a standard tree, it will make a simply stunning feature in your garden and is ideal for planting in a patio pot. Save when you buy a pair! Delivered as a bare root tree, approx. 1.4m tall.
Care Information
  • Grow in any moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun.
  • When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly.
  • If growing in a pot, ensure that plants are kept regularly watered.

To plant:

  • Dig a hole twice the width of the roots, forking over the bottom to loosen the soil, and add some good quality fertiliser such as Blood Fish & Bone.
  • Aim to plant at the same depth as the soil mark on the trunk.
  • Holding the tree or plant upright in position with one hand, slowly backfill the hole with soil, and gently shake the plant, so the soil falls back around the roots.
  • Use your heel to compact the soil around the plant to ensure good contact around the roots.
  • If you're planting into pots, place some old rocks, stones or gravel in the bottom of the pot for drainage and ballast. Use the best compost you can buy.
  • For all trees, we highly recommend using our Tree Planting Kits. Each contains 3 tanalised wooden tree stakes, 3 soft rubber tree ties and a sachet of Mycorhizal granules. You only need to support the bottom half of each trunk, so push 40cm of each stake into the soil next to each tree. With the soft tie, make a figure of eight around both the trunk and stake, and fasten it off. The tree will now be better protected from strong winds.
  • When the soil and air warm up from late March onwards, you should see the plant burst into life.
  • Do not allow plants to dry out in the first four months after planting. Once established for one season, they will become much more tolerant to a lack of water, as the root system develops.
  • There is no real need to prune for the first two years then prune to the shape and size you want. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter to control size.
