Prunus 'Asano' Tree

Small in stature but big on impact, Prunus 'Asano' produces exceptionally fluffy pink flowers in abundance, with up to 100 petals per blossom! Grown in clusters resembling pom poms, its blossoms cover this tree’s slender form in April for a spectacular floral display. Young serrated leaves emerge alongside this tree’s flowers in bronze which gradually develop into a deep green colour in the Summer. A beautifully elegant ornamental Cherry tree, Prunus ‘Asano’ is the perfect Springtime showstopper for small to medium gardens.

Named after a feudal lord in Japan’s history, this tree has ascending branches and an upright habit, and will grow to 5 x 2.5 metres in 20 years, though it is easy to keep our top grafted version much smaller. An excellent choice where outdoor space is limited, Prunus 'Asano' prefers a sunny position for achieving the best autumn colour. It tolerates most reasonably well-draining soil types, and, once established, it can withstand some drought.
