Prunus ‘Tai Haku’ | Cherry Blossom Tree

This ancient Japanese cherry tree can add mystique and elegance to your garden. Once thought of as extinct in its native Japan, this beautiful tree was rediscovered here, in England, in a Sussex garden. Now all specimens around the world are descended from this one tree.

‘Tai-haku’ boasts flowers twice the size of normal flowering cherry tree flowers, being pure white in colour in the spring. It perfectly complements its bronze-red leaves when young. In the spring, copper colour foliage emerges, which later turns to a lovely autumn light orange.

The deciduous tree is medium sized and has a broad, spreading crown which makes it ideal for a specimen piece. It has also been awarded the Award of Garden Merit given by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), which helps gardeners make informed choices about plants.

Cherry trees are famously hardy and will require little care and attention once established. The stunning ornateness of the tree brings life to any area in where it’s planted.
