    Prunus 'Pink Cloud' is one of the most enchanting flowering cherry trees, producing an abundance of soft shell-pink blossoms that cover the bare branches in early to mid-spring. The masses of delicate flowers create the appearance of a floating pink cloud, making this tree a spectacular focal point in any garden.

    As flowering finishes, fresh green foliage emerges to provide light summer shade before turning vibrant shades of yellow, orange and bronze in autumn. Compact, elegant and easy to grow, Prunus 'Pink Cloud' is an excellent choice for feature planting, avenues, parks and home gardens throughout New Zealand.

    How to establish your Prunus Pink Cloud?

    Plant Prunus 'Pink Cloud' in full sun.

    For the best flowering:

    Choose a position with at least six hours of direct sunlight each day.
    Plant in a sheltered location protected from strong prevailing winds.
    Allow room for the canopy to develop naturally.

    How to maintain your Prunus Pink Cloud once established?

    Water deeply once or twice a week during the first growing season to establish a healthy root system.

    Established Trees

    Water during:

    Extended dry periods.
    Hot summer weather.
    Long periods without rainfall.

    Deep watering encourages strong root development.

    Feed annually in early spring with:

    Compost or well-rotted organic matter.
    A balanced slow-release fertiliser for flowering trees.

    Avoid excessive nitrogen, which encourages leafy growth instead of flowers.

    Very little pruning is required.

    For best results:

    Remove dead, damaged or crossing branches after flowering.
    Lightly shape if necessary while preserving the natural form.
    Avoid heavy pruning.

    Prune during dry weather to minimise the risk of disease.

    Prunus 'Pink Cloud' is highly frost hardy and well suited to New Zealand gardens.

    Although the tree tolerates winter frosts well, very late frosts may occasionally mark open blossoms without affecting the long-term health of the tree.

    Mulch around the base annually to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

    Flowering cherries are generally healthy when grown in suitable conditions.

    Occasionally inspect for:

    Aphids
    Scale insects
    Leaf spot
    Silver leaf disease

    Maintaining good airflow and pruning during dry weather helps minimise disease risk.

    Prunus 'Pink Cloud' is ideal for:

    Feature planting
    Front gardens
