Kiku-shidare-zakura

Kiku-Shidare-Zakura is one of the prettiest of the weeping Japanese flowering cherry trees, and is well-suited to European climates.

The flowers are an intense deep pink colour, and borne in great profusion. Kiku-Shidare-Zakura flowers typically have far more petals per flower than the 25-50 of the more common “double” flowered varieties. The Japanese word “kiku” means “chrysanthemum”, and is often used to denote a variety which has the potential for more than a hundred petals per flower. It is this mass of petals which gives the blossom of Kiku-Shidare-Zakura such vibrancy and impact.

The tree remains compact, making it a good choice for planting in a small lawn or front garden.

If you are looking for a classic pink weeping blossom tree, this is a good choice.
