Prunus ‘Shirotae’ is a small, ornamental, flat-topped, flowering cherry tree with horizontally spreading and slightly arching branches covered with dark green leaves, bronze when emerging, vivid orange and red in autumn. Mildly fragrant, semi-double, snowy white flowers bloom in April and May along with young light green foliage. Prunus ‘Shirotae’ grows best in moderately fertile, deep, loamy, moist, well-drained soils, but can adapt to various types of soil, except too wet and waterlogged. It thrives in full sun, but is tolerant of light shade. Very resistant to frost but needs to be sheltered from harsh winds. Flower buds may be damaged by late frosts. Tolerant of air pollution, therefore, suitable for growing in cities. Low maintenance-plant, doesn’t require much pruning. Cherry 'Shirotae' is an impressive ornamental tree with excellent autumn foliage and lovely white blossoms. Perfect as a specimen plant or planted in groups. Great for cottage, urban, Japanese-style gardens. Excellent for urban areas - avenues, streets, and parks.
