An Oriental treasure

Blossom is celebrated in many Asian countries, but many of us do not have room for an enormous flowering cherry. However you can still celebrate the cherry blossom season by planting a shrubby Fuji cherry called Prunus incisa 'Kojo-no-mai'. This produces a twiggy arrangement of upright branches that slowly reach man height. The stems twist and turn slightly as they develop, slowing the sap, and producing lots of buds that open to blush-white year after year. It provides the same confetti style blossom as the winter-flowering cherry tree, P. x subhirtella ‘Autumnalis’, but is far hardier.
