Prunus ‘Kojo No Mai’
A slow growing, dwarf cherry with a distinctive zig-zag growth habit and year-round interest, this small ornamental cherry is exquisite and will suit any garden.
An abundance of small and delicate, pale-pink single blooms in early Spring, which fade to blush white.
Leaves are small, and dark-green through Summer, becoming a stunning red in Autumn.
In Winter, Kojo No Mai has an architectural presence, as the zig-zag habit of the branches can be fully appreciated.
The compact and slow growth make ‘Kojo No Mai’ suitable for large containers, rockeries, Japanese style gardens and small gardens. The 'standard' form, with its clean straight trunk, creates a real point of interest in the garden.
Tree Size: 2 m above the graft by 2 m wide (at 20 years), but can be pruned to keep it much smaller.
The standard form will require staking when young.
Tree Care: For best results plant in full sun in fertile, free draining soil, preferably a friable loam with good aeration.
If the soil is free draining, dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, plant the tree so the top of the root ball is level with the soil line and back fill with a soil and compost mixture. If the soil is not free draining, plant the tree in a raised mound of soil and compost mix, to prevent water logging.
Water in well at planting, and water regularly, especially in dry spells. Cherries are shallow rooted and young trees will benefit from being mulched. Apply mulch in a ring around the tree base, keeping clear of the trunk.
