Prunus Shimidsu Sakura

Prunus ‘Shimizu Sakura’ is an exceptional Japanese flowering cherry tree renowned for its breathtaking display of large, semi-double soft pink blossoms. Often considered one of the finest ornamental cherries, this elegant deciduous tree transforms into a cloud of delicate pink flowers during spring, creating a spectacular focal point in the garden.

The blooms emerge in abundance along bare branches before the fresh foliage fully develops, producing a classic Japanese cherry blossom display. Each flower is a soft shell-pink colour with gently ruffled petals, creating a romantic and graceful appearance that captures attention from near and far.

As the flowering season ends, attractive fresh green foliage emerges to provide a beautiful summer canopy. In autumn, the leaves develop warm tones of gold, orange and bronze before falling, ensuring the tree remains a feature through multiple seasons.

With its broad spreading habit and outstanding floral display, Prunus ‘Shimizu Sakura’ is ideally suited as a specimen tree, avenue planting or feature in Japanese-inspired gardens. It is a tree that celebrates the changing seasons and provides one of the most memorable spring displays available.
