Prunus 'Beni-tamanishiki' Spring Snow Click the link for Cheaper Bare Root Spring Snow Cherry Tree
A small tree, Spring Snow (Prunus 'Spring Snow') has an attractive spreading habit. Clusters of bluish white flowers appear like blobs of snow on the bare branches. Coppery young leaves provide a lovely contrast with the flowers. One of the Matsumae cherries that has excellent Autumnal colours.
A small height tree, so expect a height of up to 4 metres (13 foot) after 10 years. Could go on to grow a little more but this depends on local weather and soil conditions.
As with most other Japanese flowering Cherry trees, the Spring Snow requires minimal pruning to remove dead, diseased or crossing over branches so could say this is a low maintenance tree.
As for soil, the Spring Snow is quite forgiving and will tolerate most soil conditions, those being chalk, clay, loam or sandy.
As it is in flowering group 4, expect the blossoms to arrive later in the season.
Spring Snow is supplied at a height of between 1.25 and 1.75 metres in a 12 litre container for year round planting.

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.
