Prunus serrulata ‘Shirotae’
Japanese Cherry
Prunus serrulata ‘Shirotae’ is a strong-growing, wide-spreading, flat-top cherry with tiered, horizontal branches that grow as wide as its height. In mid-spring, it produces large, fragrant, pure-white, semi-double flowers from white buds that are sometimes tinged with pink. The serrated green leaves turn shades of yellow, red, and orange in the autumn months, adding a bright splash of color to the landscape. It is an excellent choice as a shade tree due to its wide-spreading, flat-top growth habit. Prunus serrulata ‘Shirotae’ can still be sold in Auckland until 1 September 2025 when they will make a final decision. Prunus serrulata is deciduous and native to China and Korea. Prunus serrulata ‘Shirotae’ originated in the 19th century in Japan.
