The Prunus Accolade Cherry Blossom Tree is ideal for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, high-impact ornamental tree that provides consistent seasonal beauty. Prized for its elegant spreading habit and abundant soft pink flowers, it serves as a stunning focal point for lawns or borders. While it is highly hardy and reliable, the primary caveat is that it requires well-drained soil and full sun to achieve its peak, breathtaking spring bloom performance.

The best time to plant is during the dormant season, ideally in autumn or early spring, before the tree starts to push out new growth.
While it arrives at 5-6ft, it will continue to spread its graceful branches over time. Expect it to reach a medium height suitable for most domestic gardens.
No, it requires very little maintenance. Prune only to remove damaged branches or to maintain a specific shape, ideally in late summer.
While it can survive in a very large container for a few years, it will perform significantly better and reach its true potential when planted directly into the ground.
It is generally robust, but like all Prunus varieties, it benefits from good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
Ensure the tree is receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily and check that the soil is not overly compacted.
This often indicates waterlogging or poor drainage. Ensure the planting site is not sitting in standing water and improve soil aeration if necessary.
When you receive your tree, ensure the 7.5-litre pot is kept moist until you are ready to transplant it. Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and deep enough so the top of the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with a mix of native soil and organic compost. Water the tree thoroughly immediately after planting and maintain a regular watering schedule during its first season to help it establish deep roots. Pruning should be kept to a minimum; if necessary, remove any dead or crossing branches in late summer to avoid issues with silver leaf or bacterial canker which can enter fresh pruning wounds in winter.
