Also known as the Fuji Cherry, this gorgeous, compact tree will burst into flower before the leaves appear in late winter early spring each year. They start as red buds which appear to almost dance around the branches, but then open to reveal beautiful pale pink flowers, each with a red centre. Perfect for small garden or growing in a pot on your patio, Kojo No Mai even provides autumn interest when its green leaves turn from green to bright reddish orange before falling. The statuesque form of the tree is also a joy to observe on frosty mornings when a haw frost shows it off to its very best. Kojo No Mai is fully winter hardy whatever the weather and grows to just 3ft after 10 years if left un pruned, but will be happy to receive a regular trim during early summer after flowering has finished.
