Thompson and Morgan Prunus Nipponica Brilliant Plant in Pot 3.6L

Prunus nipponica ‘Brilliant’, commonly known as Japanese Alpine Maple, is a fabulous specimen tree and a very hardy variety which will flourish in most locations. Its compact size and minimal maintenance requirements make it an excellent choice for smaller gardens, large containers, or as a striking focal point above a rockery. In spring, expect a beautiful burst of pink-tinged white blooms across its bare branches, preceding the emergence of unusual rust-coloured leaves. As summer arrives, the foliage transitions to a classic green, before offering another spectacular display in autumn, when the leaves transform into shades of red, orange, and yellow. Plant cherry trees in moist, fertile, well-drained soil, enriched with plenty of compost or well-rotted manure before planting. Choose a position in full sun for optimal growth. Water regularly until fully established. Ornamental cherries need little further attention; simply remove any diseased, damaged, or crossing shoots to maintain a healthy shape. Pruning is best carried out in midsummer to minimise the risk of ‘silver leaf’ infection. Apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or compost around the base of the plant each spring, ensuring it doesn't mound against the stem.Position: Full Sun/Partial Shade.Height: Reaching up to 3m when fully grown.Spread: Extending up to 2m when fully grown.Supplied as 1 x Prunus nipponica ‘Brilliant’ plant in a 3.6 litre pot, accompanied by growing and care instructions.
