Neat and slender 'Accolade' is the perfect flowering cherry tree for a small garden. Plant it as a feature tree in a lawn or front garden border. One of the earliest to bloom in spring, with rich pink buds opening into clusters of fragrant, semi-double pink and white flowers throughout March and April. Vibrant autumn colour with an eye-catching mix of red, amber and golden tones. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner for its looks, ease of growing and performance in British gardens. Naturally forms an airy canopy which doesn't cast too much shade - great for underplanting with perennials or bulbs. In a mild year, you might even get a few bonus flowers in autumn and winter! Looks delicate, is actually hard as nails; this fully cold-tolerant tree thrives in all but chalky soils and is rarely bothered by pests or diseases. Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch. Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE Our mature trees are grown in Air-Pots®, the only type of pot to completely eliminate root circling. A unique design stimulates air pruning for a mass of healthy fibrous roots, which results in a healthy tree that will establish quickly in your garden. With each Air-Pot® made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery - but if you’d rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-Pot® to your basket along with your tree.
