Cherry, Shirofugen (Prunus Shirofugen)

A beautiful, wide spreading tree, the Shirofugen Cherry is the latest flowering cherry, carrying large, double, fragrant white flowers in May that darken into pink as they age. These show well against rich, coppery foliage. Most soil types are suitable, including chalk. As with all cherries any pruning or remedial work should be done in summer to reduce the risk of bacterial canker. To 10m
