Prunus ‘Ichiyo’

This cherry was first introduced in 1926 by plant collector Captain Collingwood Ingram, who at the time, was a world authority on Japanese cherries – and he clearly had a good eye, as it is still sought after today! It’s a delight in early spring, when its dusky pink buds open to a frothy profusion of pale pink flowers, which lighten to near-white as they age. A delightful addition to a smaller garden, it’s name ‘Ichiyo’ (Japanese for ‘one leaf’), refers to the leaf-like pistil at the heart of each flower.
