Prunus 'Shimidsu Sakura' Cottage prune out any excessive branchesA very small flowering cherry with increasingly wide spreading branches, ultimately forming a vase shape, or even a completely flattened top. Flowers are pink tinted in bud opening pure white all along the branches. Glorious in spring and a truly delightful choice for an informal cottage garden. Note: because of this tree's small stature and wide spreading habit, avoid planting in positions which require clearance to walk or drive beneath.
