Description

A popular cherry tree, Prunus serrulata 'Amanogawa' has a distinctive, stiffly upright, narrow habit and masses of lovely rich-pink flower buds opening to delightful, soft pale-pink, fragrant, double flowers in late spring. The narrow habit and flowers combine to produce a particularly eye-catching display and make this a suitable cherry tree for gardens where space may be more limited.
