A guide to choosing the right size

Fruit trees for sale | Prunus Trees.

Blackmoor Nursery is one of very few Nurseries in the UK offering gardeners the opportunity to buy Prunus Flowering Cherry trees direct from our Nursery. 

All orders are despatched in one delivery. If your order contains both bare root and container grown plants then we can only despatch when all plants are ready. 

Bare Root = Field grown trees that have been freshly lifted and supplied with no soil around the roots. Only available during the dormant period November-May.

10 Litre = Container grown and can be planted all year round. The size refers to the number of litres of compost that the container holds.

1 Year Maiden = A one year old tree and the size depends on the variety but in general they will be 125cm in height and will have some side branches.

2 Year = A two year old tree that has been pruned back in the first winter to form a bush shape. Generally trees will be 140-160cm in height with multiple side branches. This height guide is an end of summer height.

Prior to planting eliminate all perennial weeds. If the soil is acid mix in lime, add organic matter such as compost or manure to light sandy soils. On heavier soils, which are poorly drained, planting on raised beds is beneficial. The incorporation of sand is also helpful. Before planting dig in a handful of fertiliser such as ‘Growmore’ also a light sprinkling of Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salts) to each planting position.

Review update - it’s the third winter now we have had this. Every year the flower gets better and every time i post a photo of this tree in flower during the winter on social media I get friends asking which variety it is. This tree is really a winner, a no-brainier if you want something to light up your mood every morning when you look outside.

This is a lovely little specimen. Looked extremely healthy when it arrived last summer, planted in a north east facing direction in front of the house and it has flowered through the winter. Still loads of buds showing I'd be sad to see the flowering stop! I'm sure the flower will be better year on year. I'd highly recommend this species as it's much longer flowering than the usual spring flowering cherries. Needless to say top class service from Blackmoor as always. Thank you so much!
