Ichiyo ornamental cherry trees

Prunus
Ichiyo has received the RHS Award of Garden Merit
  • Flowering month: April
  • Blossom colour: Pink - light
  • Awards: RHS AGM (current) 1993

Prunus Ichiyo is a popular medium-sized Japanese blossom tree. The double flowers are a light shell pink colour with pale green centres, borne in clusters on long stalks. The flowers are long-lasting, tending to fade to white over time. They are a real spectacle when the tree is in full bloom.

In autumn the leaves turn orange-red.

The young branches grow with an upright habit initially, but over time the canopy will spread more widely - forming a natural vase shaped open centre tree.
