Umineko - Full Standard (180-200cm clear stem)

Prunus ‘Umineko’, commonly known as the Japanese Flowering Cherry, is a highly regarded deciduous ornamental tree that offers outstanding seasonal interest and elegant structure. Well suited to gardens of all sizes, Prunus ‘Umineko’ provides a strong upright form and abundant spring blossom, making it ideal as a focal point or for avenue planting. These trees are typically grown as clear stem standards, developing a neat, upright canopy with a balanced, architectural shape. In spring, the tree is covered in masses of pure white flowers, creating a striking display that contrasts beautifully with the emerging bronze-green foliage. As the season progresses, the leaves mature to a rich green before turning vibrant shades of orange and red in autumn. Prunus ‘Umineko’ brings structure, seasonal colour, and visual impact to borders, lawns, or formal planting schemes, making it a versatile and reliable choice for a wide range of landscapes.
