Description
- Think your garden is too small for a cherry blossom? Amanogawa’s slender form makes it possible!
- Growing to 4m high and just 1m wide, it’s ideal for small spaces or planting in rows.
- Spring is when the magic happens and every inch of those narrow, upswept branches is packed with fluffy, pink semi-double flowers with a delicate, sweet fragrance
- The fresh jade-green foliage transforms in autumn to a fiery display of bright reds and oranges before falling and revealing the elegant silhouette of the bare branches
- Amanogawa is pollution tolerant and happy in most soils, making it a great choice for urban areas and streetside planting
- RHS Award of Garden Merit winner – unsurprisingly
- ‘Amanogawa’ means ‘river of the sky’ in Japanese. The Amanogawa cherry blossoms originally grew along the banks of the Arakara River that flows through Saitama Province and Tokyo in Japan.
