Plant description
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.

How to care for Prunus Jacqueline:
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 ‘goblet' 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.
