Plant description
A much-loved small deciduous tree that will bring elegance and structure to your garden with its compact crown of ascending branches. In late spring, the branches become adorned with beautiful double, dusky pink blossoms, creating a breathtaking focal point. The leaves emerge bronze, offering a delightful contrast to other ornamental cherries, and mature to green. During autumn, a subtle hint of orange appears in the foliage. Planted in full sun, 'Pink Perfection' makes for a stunning single specimen cherry tree.

How to care for Prunus Pink Perfection:
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.
