Description
This lovely tree forms a wide canopy of pure white double flowers in April. Doesn't get too tall, peaking at around 4m. We've planted three together here in our cherry tree border with a seat underneath. Our trees are UK grown in peat-free compost. They are very well established and a good shape, at around 1.8m tall, as sold.

Sue's Notes
I was asked to help with a new planting scheme for the 'Elements' borders at RHS Bridgewater, and this was the first tree I thought of. As you enter the gardens, turn left through the wooden gates. The trees were planted in early 2025 so it will take a few years before they meet overhead and create a tunnel of pure white blossom.
