Carefully grown and selected at our award-winning family nursery in Norfolk, this variety is celebrated for its large, pure white blossoms and delightful fragrance that create a breathtaking spring display.
With its upright, spreading habit and softly arching branches, ‘Fragrant Cloud’ is ideal for feature planting, garden avenues, or mixed ornamental schemes, providing seasonal colour, structure, and refined beauty throughout the year.
(Prunus ‘Fragrant Cloud’ – Ornamental, approx. 20–25ft / 6–7.5m at maturity)
In mid to late spring, the tree produces abundant single pure white flowers with a noticeable sweet fragrance, covering the branches in a spectacular and elegant floral display.
Emerging bronze-tinted young foliage matures to fresh green, adding summer interest and contrast against the crisp white blooms.
In autumn, leaves may develop warm golden tones, providing additional seasonal interest.
The tree forms a broad, rounded crown with gently spreading branches, offering graceful structure and ornamental impact without overwhelming surrounding planting.
Fully hardy and adaptable, this variety thrives in most soil types and performs best in a sunny position. Planting directly into the ground allows the tree to reach its full ornamental potential.

Backfill, firm gently, and water thoroughly
Stake during establishment, especially in exposed locations
Mulch around the base (keeping clear of the trunk) to retain moisture
Water regularly throughout the first growing season
