Prunus serrulata Mt. Fuji

Prunus serrulata 'Mt. Fuji', also known as Shirotae Cherry or Mount Fuji Cherry, is a deciduous tree celebrated for its stunning, snow-white blossoms that bloom in mid-spring. The tree is grafted to 2mt and can reach 3mt tall and wide at maturity. The fragrant, semi-double flowers are abundant and create a beautiful, cloud-like display against the fresh green foliage, which turns vibrant shades of orange and red in autumn.

To grow 'Mt. Fuji' in suburban Melbourne and Sydney, plant it in full sun with well-draining soil. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil and benefits from regular watering, especially during dry periods. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and protect the roots. Pruning should be done after flowering to maintain its shape and remove any dead or crossing branches.

'Mt. Fuji' is ideal for adding seasonal interest and elegance to gardens, parks, and large landscapes. Its striking spring blooms and attractive autumn foliage make it a standout choice for ornamental planting.
