Description
- Pink Perfection does what it says on the tin, exploding with the most perfect fluffy, double pink flowers every spring, in one of the most stunning flower displays of any cherry blossom tree
- Bred in the UK, Pink Perfection grows to a very manageable 4x4m, making it a great choice for the front garden (because who wouldn't want to show it off?)
- Emerald green foliage emerges in the spring as a vibrant backdrop to the blossom, then pulls a fiery autumn display out of its bag of tricks, with a medley of red, orange and bronze shades
- This easy going little tree is happy in any moist and well drained soil except chalk and grows naturally into a neatly rounded shape
- Let's talk blossom: the buds are dark pink and open into clusters of delicately scented rose pink pompoms. If you've got the space, team it with a white flowering cherry like Mount Fuji or Tai-Haku for maximum impact
- RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, obviously
- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™.
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.

How To Grow
Average Pest/ Disease Resistance
May need protection from caterpillars, leaf-mining moths and bullfinches and be affected by silver leaf, bacterial canker and blossom wilt.MORE
A little watering when new
When newly planted, the trees would love a little watering at least once a month for the initial couple of months. Afterwards keep moist but well drained.
Full sun
This cherry tree loves full sun exposure or a sheltered location, allowing all the nutrients to create blossom in your garden. When choosing a spot away from strong winds, it will help all the resources to go towards growing the blossom and protection of its display.
Happy in moist and well drained soil but for chalk
Adapts to clay, loam and sandy soil
Prune Annually
Pruning in mid-summer may be required if affected by silver leaf

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Peter Mawer
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
John Harris
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
Karen McEwan
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
