Ichiyo flowering cherry tree (Prunus 'Ichiyo') is appealing in that it carries long-lasting double shell-pink flowers with an attractive frilled appearance. The flowers themselves are borne on pretty long stalks. It was features such as these that the RHS gave it the Award Of Garden Merit (AGM) and because there was no bribery scandal in the papers or other news outlets, we think it probably got it deservedly so.
Expect the flowers to make an appearance April to May time but if they are female then they might be running late!

Ornamental Tree Roots In The Shade e.g. Behind A Fence
It is more important that that foliage (posh term for leaves) receives the sunlight than the roots. So if the canopy of your ornamental tree can sunbathe but the bottom of your tree thinks there has been a nuclear winter then that is ok. You might want to ensure you have good drainage as water and no sun is the start of algae and other such issues.

Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. If the corner is of the house and a fence then you also have leeching issues to contend with from cement and wood preservatives. Also when it rains, that area would experience higher water levels so we advise against it unless the plant is very hardy.
