A hugely popular and beautiful tree associated with weddings because of its brilliant display of double, white flowers, Blushing Bride or Prunus Shogetsu is a beautiful, wide-spreading tree with large, double, pure white flowers that hang in clusters from the horizontal branches during May to create a spectacular show. Blushing Bride is well-suited to small gardens, with an expected final height of 4m after 10 years but could go on to grow more depending on local conditions. Direct lightening strikes and low flying Harry Potters may prevent our Blushing Bride tree reaching full height.
This is the perfect apology gift if ever you made a bride blush e.g. If you let it slip at the reception that you are a sex change surgeon and the bride was your best customer.
Blushing Bride is supplied at of height of between 1.5m to 2.5m and in a 7-20 litre container, which means that the tree can be planted any time of the year and with better results than either bare-root or rootballed trees.
Message card included at no additional cost if required. Just add the information required on the card at checkout.

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.
