Plant description
The flowers of this elegant tree are exquisite, and create a wonderful display in mid-spring. Larger than many of the other ornamental cherries, they have soft pure white petals, surrounding a cluster of long tassled stamens. With its slender upright habit this is an ideal choice where space is limited and can be grown in a large pot on the patio. 'Snow Goose' would also make a fine specimen for a lawn or spring border where it can be underplanted with bulbs. In autumn, the normally green leaves turn rich autumn shades before they drop.

How to care for Prunus Snow Goose:
When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Prune in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf and bacterial canker. Cut back any dead, diseased or crossing branches.
Please note:
This tree is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
