Plant description
A graceful, spreading ornamental cherry tree unveiling a breathtaking floral display of delicate, pale pink double blossoms surrounding distinctive green centres that dangle from long stems hanging below the branches like a pink parasol in mid to late spring. The also foliage adds seasonal interest, emerging in a dark copper bronze before maturing to green in summer and turning lovely shades of yellow and orange in autumn.
One of the most stunning varieties in the Matsumae group of Japanese cherries, 'Hanagasa' features long-stemmed, abundant blooms that cascade from its open, broad form for a romantic, dramatic look perfect for medium to large sized gardens.

How to care for Prunus Hanagasa:
When planting your ornamental cherry, prepare a hole up to three times the diameter of its root system. Fork over the base of the pit in readiness, incorporating plenty of organic matter into the backfill and planting hole.
Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out as they arrive. If you've ordered a bare root tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for half an hour prior to planting, or if this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily, covering their roots with soil, or potted up.
Choose a sheltered spot to protect emerging blossom. Lightly prune in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf and bacterial canker, to retain an open shape and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.

Please note:
This tree is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
