(Prunus ‘Tai Haku’ – Ornamental, approx. 25–35ft / 7.5–10.5m at maturity)
In late spring, the tree produces large, pure white single flowers, creating a dramatic display on bare branches.
Emerging fresh green foliage adds summer interest and complements the spring blooms.
In autumn, leaves turn warm shades of yellow and orange, providing additional seasonal interest.
The tree develops a broad, spreading crown with elegant, arching branches, offering structure and ornamental beauty without dominating surrounding planting.
Fully hardy and adaptable, this variety thrives in most soil types and performs best in a sunny, sheltered position. Planting directly in the ground allows the tree to reach its full ornamental potential.

Position the tree so the root flare sits at soil level
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
