Prunus ‘Asano’

A spectacular, modest sized ornamental cherry tree whose upright form emerges cloaked in bronze-tinged foliage, then becomes blanketed with hundreds of petite, yet prolifically packed flowers along the slender branches in mid to late spring. The leaves mature to deep green in summer, providing continued seasonal interest and shade. Named for a historic Japanese feudal lord, ‘Asano’ tolerates most soils, and is easily maintained at a smaller size through pruning. For optimal autumn colour and the fullest floral display, plant in full sun.
