A beautiful weeping Fuji cherry that is ideal for the smallest gardens and will thrive in large tubs. Its long, weeping branches are smothered in pure white flowers in March and April and create a cascade effect.

The flowers of Prunus 'Snow Showers' are produced on the current year's growth, so the branches can be pruned hard each year after flowering if required. The leaves are small, mid-green, and turn lush shades of burgundy and red in autumn.

These compact and showy ornamental cherries have been grafted to create stronger, more productive trees. The 12-litre top-worked option (also known as top-grafted) helps to keep the plant compact, which makes it ideal for larger pots on the patio.


  • Garden care:
    When planting, incorporate lots of well-rotted compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. If potting up use John Innes No.3 compost and make sure it is kept well watered during warm weather. Any necessary pruning should be done in summer to reduce the risk of bacterial canker.
