Prunus 'Shirotae', commonly known as Mt Fuji Cherry, is a stunning flowering cherry tree admired for its elegant spreading form and masses of fragrant white blossoms. Grafted onto a 1.5m standard, this deciduous ornamental tree grows to approximately 5m high and 6m wide, making it a striking feature in gardens, avenues, and landscape settings.

In mid-spring, large semi-double snow-white flowers emerge in abundance, creating a spectacular floral display. The blooms are lightly fragrant, adding both visual and sensory appeal to the garden. Its broad, spreading canopy provides year-round structure and graceful form, even after the flowering season has passed.

Mt Fuji Cherry thrives in full sun to part shade and performs well in a range of well-drained soils with dry to moist conditions. Hardy and adaptable, it is suitable for both exposed and moderately exposed sites, making it an excellent choice for feature planting and ornamental landscapes.
