The Prunus Snow Fountain, a breathtaking ornamental tree that adds elegance and charm to any garden landscape. This stunning tree, known scientifically as Prunus 'Snow Fountains', belongs to the Rosaceae family and is a cultivar of the weeping cherry tree. Originating from Japan, this delicate tree has captured the hearts of garden enthusiasts around the world, including those in the United Kingdom.
The Prunus Snow Fountain is renowned for its graceful weeping habit, creating a cascade of pristine white blossoms that resemble a snow fountain when in full bloom. The blooms typically emerge in early spring, transforming the tree into a spectacle of beauty and attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. The delicate flowers give way to lush green foliage that persists throughout the summer, providing a lovely backdrop to the garden.
This ornamental tree is relatively compact, making it ideal for smaller gardens or as a focal point in larger landscapes. Its weeping form adds a sense of drama and movement to the garden, creating a captivating visual display. The Prunus Snow Fountain also boasts attractive bark with a smooth texture, adding interest even in the winter months when the tree is dormant.
The Prunus Snow Fountain thrives in well-drained soil and prefers a sunny location, although it can tolerate partial shade. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, to ensure the tree's health and vitality. Pruning should be minimal, primarily to maintain the tree's graceful form and remove any dead or damaged branches.
This enchanting tree is a popular choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to their outdoor space. Whether planted as a specimen tree, along a garden path, or near a patio, the Prunus Snow Fountain never fails to impress with its ethereal beauty and captivating presence.Â

About Us
During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.
What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
