Prunus 'Hally Jolivette' Tree

This small, spreading flowering cherry tree is a hybrid between Prunus subhirtella and Prunus x yedoensis introduced from America. It has profuse, fragrant, double soft pink flowers in great abundance during spring, complimenting the neat, dark-green leaves that turn orange and red in autumn. At full maturity this variety reaches a compact height and spread of 5 x 5 metres.

With a dense rounded crown, Prunus Hally Jolivette is perfect for confined positions and makes a beautiful addition to even the smallest garden. As with most Prunus varieties, Hally Jolivette is best suited to sun or partial shade, and any well-drained soil - it is moderately drought resistant when established.

Planting Advice for Prunus Hally Jolivette Trees

Our pot grown Hally Jolivette Flowering Cherry trees can be planted at any time of the year. Choosing a location away from strong winds protects the blossom display. Start by removing weeds and grass within a metre of your desired planting hole. Dig a square hole as deep as your root mass and approximately 1.5x as wide. To help the tree establish more effectively, sprinkle root grow in the hole.

Remove the pot, gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole. Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost, fill in the hole and firm around gently. Avoid banking the soil up around the collar of the tree. We recommend planting Hally Jolivette Cherry trees (except multi-stem forms) with a stake and tie kit to ensure the roots are well anchored - instructions are in the planting guide.

After Care Advice for Prunus Hally Jolivette Trees

When planting Cherry Blossom trees in spring or summer, water well for the first few months. Increase watering if there are extended periods of hot or dry weather. When planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. See Irrigation kits.

Once planted, keep the area free of competing weeds and grass for the first couple of growing seasons. If your area is prone to rabbits, use a rabbit guard.

Pruning Advice for Prunus Hally Jolivette Trees

Although it is possible to leave your Hally Jolivette Flowering Cherry tree to its own devices, if you prune it for the first few years it will create a more balanced branch framework. Prune after flowering i.e. after the petals have dropped but before the new shoot growth appears.

After two to three years, you will only need to remove any damaged or unwanted branches. The formative pruning previously carried out will have led to a healthier tree less likely to need this though. On top grafted forms, very occasionally the grafted stem may produce shoots and these should be pruned back.
