This elegant, upright Japanese cherry unveils a profuse floral display of large, soft pink single blossoms that smother its branches in early spring the deep green summer foliage emerges. The vibrant blooms are slightly cupped, adding depth to the abundant light blooms, and its oval leaves turn brilliant shades of orange and red in autumn for an end of season showcase. A compact variety, the award winning (RHS) ‘Jacqueline’ is ideal for small gardens needing a long season interest focal point.
When siting your ornamental cherry, select a spot that is sheltered from strong winds to protect the delicate blossoms. Stake your new tree to anchor it while the roots establish. Water thoroughly at planting and keep the soil moist for the first year by watering regularly, especially during hot, dry spells. After planting, maintain a weed-free area around the base of the tree, and use a tree guard if rabbits or deer are an issue. Prune in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf and bacterial canker, cutting back any dead, diseased, or crossing branches.
