Description

Prunus incisa 'Mikinori' is a small Fuji Cherry Blossom tree that becomes clothed in semi-double flowers around March. Pale pink as they open, the flowers turn white with a pink central eye and are popular with bees. The small foliage is serrated (incised) and develops from mid-green to orange and red in the autumn.

Named after the Japanese botanist Mikinori Ogisu, Prunus incisa 'Mikinori' is a small, bushy tree that will grow to just 4 x 3 metres and so is ideal for a very small space or growing in a pot. This lovely little Cherry Blossom tree will grow well in most situations, but avoid wet soils or shallow chalk.

Nigel's Nursery Notes: The top grafted forms are ideal for growing in a patio pot.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Flowering Cherry trees require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.

It is beneficial to carry out formative pruning for the first few years by creating a balanced branch framework and removing badly placed shoots. After two to three years, you will only need to remove any damaged or unwanted branches. On top grafted forms, very occasionally the grafted stem may produce shoots and these should be pruned back. The best time of year to prune Cherry Blossom trees is straight after flowering.
