Product description
Prunus Jacqueline is a fairly new variety from Belgium. It is a small deciduous tree with large, vivacious, cup-shaped pink flowers and outstanding autumn colours. Also commonly known as the Flowering Cherry, this tree will reach a height of up to 3m in 10 years. Yes it is a small tree but its features are worth significantly. It has the capability to delight your garden with its profuse flowering and beautiful autumn foliage.
Jacqueline cherry tree flowers abundantly in April with large flowers (4cm) across in umbels of 2-4 with intense pink colour. Flowers appear before the elliptic, dark-green leaves emerge on the shoots. These leaves develop brilliant orange-red hues in autumn, thus making any garden stand apart. Your cherry tree maybe blessed with fruits but they are small, inedible and inconspicuous.
This Prunus variety, like the other varieties, is very adaptable and will grow in most general soils in sun or partial shade. It prefers fertile, well-drained soils and can tolerate chalky soils as well.
In winter, the tree can withstand very low temperatures as it is very frost hardy. Due to the early growth of this large shrub, you may need to prune the young plant in order to form a proper shape and structure as the tree matures.
Use it in single planting or group planting in public gardens, parks, residential areas, etc. Find it contrasting exponentially with other green plants as a single specimen or even in groups. It also forms beautiful hedges.

Instructions
Top Tip
Prune your Prunus tree annually in midsummer to maintain its shape and remove any dead, damaged, or overcrowded branches. Avoid pruning during winter to minimise the risk of infection. For flowering varieties, prune immediately after blooming to encourage fresh growth and maximise next season's display. Regular maintenance will keep your tree healthy and looking its best year-round.
How to Water
Water your Prunus tree deeply after planting and consistently during its first growing season to help establish strong roots. Once established, the tree requires less frequent watering but should be watered during prolonged dry spells, especially in the summer months. Take care not to overwater, as Prunus trees dislike waterlogged conditions. Water early in the morning or late in the evening to minimise evaporation and ensure the roots can absorb the moisture effectively.
How to Plant
To plant a Prunus tree, choose a sunny or partially shaded position with fertile, well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and deep enough to accommodate it comfortably. Place the tree in the hole so that the root collar sits level with the soil surface, then backfill with a mixture of soil and organic matter, firming gently around the roots. Water thoroughly and apply a mulch layer around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping the mulch a few centimetres away from the trunk to prevent rot. Stake young trees for added support in windy areas.
