One of the earliest and most beautiful signs that Spring is truly here is the arrival of the flowers on ornamental cherry trees. Clouds of beautiful blossoms from the deepest pink to the most delicate white have captivated gardeners and artists alike for centuries. Flowering cherry trees begin their display in the UK in late March to early April and like the flowering bulbs of Spring, it is a welcome sight in the garden after the gloom of winter.

Not all ornamental cherry trees bear fruit and after a spectacular show, the cherry blossom petals fall like snow in the gusty winds of March and April. Those that do go on to produce fruit will surely encourage more birds into your garden. Originally found naturally in the Northern Hemisphere, it is Japan which is the country that is most associated with cherry blossom. It forms a huge part of Japanese culture and alongside Japanese Acers no Japanese style garden would be complete without them. When designing your garden – cherry trees are a great asset to use to accentuate a particular area – their shape, sumptuous spring display and rich autumn leaf colour make this a good all round investment in a statement tree.
