Description
A tree to plant as a family and watch bloom every year!
The ‘Kojo-no-mai’ flowering cherry is a gift that comes back every year: as winter ends, it covers itself in small pinkish-white flowers, even before the leaves appear. A living tree, for those who love watching for the return of spring, young and old alike.
A date with spring, from late February to late March
The ‘Kojo-no-mai’ flowering cherry (Prunus incisa ‘Kojo-no-mai’), a small Fuji cherry, is a deciduous tree with a conical habit and twisting branches. Its pinkish-white flowers open from late February to late March. In autumn, its green foliage turns orange and red. It stays small: 2 to 3 m at maturity and 1 to 2 m wide, which suits urban gardens, terraces and balconies.
Plant, water, wait for the blossom: an adventure to share
Digging the hole, setting the young tree, watering it, adding a little compost at its base: every step is easy to share with children, who discover how a tree grows. It is then up to them to keep up the watering, measure its height each season, watch for buds at the end of winter and count the first flowers. A young gardener in charge of their own tree, and the pride of seeing flowers on what they planted.
