Prunus serrulata 'Shimizu Sakura', commonly known as the Shimizu Sakura Pink Flowering Cherry, is a stunning deciduous ornamental tree admired for its spectacular display of soft to rich pink blossoms in spring. Masses of elegant flowers cover the branches before or as the foliage emerges, creating a breathtaking floral display that brings vibrant seasonal colour to gardens and landscapes. Fresh bronze-green leaves mature to lush green through summer before turning warm shades of yellow, orange, and copper in autumn, extending its ornamental appeal well beyond the flowering season.
Hardy, easy to grow, and low maintenance, Shimizu Sakura Pink Flowering Cherry thrives in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Its graceful, rounded canopy makes it ideal as a specimen tree, avenue planting, or feature in Japanese-inspired, cottage, and contemporary gardens. With its beautiful spring blossoms, attractive autumn foliage, and elegant form, this flowering cherry is an exceptional addition to residential and commercial landscapes.
