Prunus Serrulata Amanogawa 35 Litre Seconds

Prunus serrulata ‘Amanogawa’ – The Flagpole Cherry

Prunus serrulata ‘Amanogawa’ is a refined, upright ornamental cherry, perfectly suited to smaller gardens where space is at a premium. Its name, meaning “Heaven’s River” in Japanese, reflects the tree’s vertical elegance and the soft, cloud-like beauty of its blossoms.

In late spring, the tree is smothered in lightly fragrant, semi-double flowers, each a soft shell-pink that fades to near-white at the petal edges. These blooms appear along the vertical stems, giving a spectacular, columnar display. Through summer, fresh green leaves provide a neat and formal structure before turning to warm gold and bronze tones in autumn.

This slow-growing tree’s naturally narrow habit makes it ideal for planting in tight spaces, flanking doorways, or lining pathways and drives. It’s equally striking as a single specimen or planted in pairs. Hardy, easy to care for, and highly ornamental, ‘Amanogawa’ offers year-round elegance without overwhelming a small space.
