Prunus Amanogawa

Flowering Cherry

Prunus Amanogawa is a variety of Flowering Cherry that features masses of pale-pink flowers through spring. The mildly fragrant, semi-double flowers are borne in clusters and literally coat the tree. The foliage emerges a yellow-bronze colour in spring, ages to become mid-dark green, then develops orange and red tones in autumn before falling. It grows with a columnar habit to about 5 m tall and 2 m wide. Prunus Amanogawa is a stunning tree and is commonly used in avenue plantings, added to cottage gardens, used to border to an entrance, grown as a specimen, or added to a mixed planting.

What does Prunus Amanogawa need to grow well?

Prunus Amanogawa grows best when positioned in full sun on a well-drained soil. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, coastal environments, and humid climates. Wind protection is important to ensure a better formed tree that will grow and flower prolifically. These trees do not do well on poorly drained sites or with continued over-watering.

How to care for the Prunus Amanogawa tree

Caring for the Prunus Amanogawa tree is simply about getting a few easy things right so the tree thrives. They prefer a sheltered spot in either full sun or part shade. A well-drained and fertile soil is crucial for success. Adding organic matter like compost into the soil during planting will help with soil fertility. They prefer a moist soil so consistent watering is essential, especially during dry periods but be careful to avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot. Applying tree fertiliser in spring will keep the plants well-fed for the year. Any trimming should be undertaken in autumn or early spring which is mostly about shaping the tree. Applying mulch around the base of the plant helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. The Plant Company recommends trees are staked to give them that extra bit of support. Monitor for pests like scale insect and diseases like powdery mildew and treat as needed with an appropriate agrichemical if you think it is needed.

Prunus Amanogawa problems

When considering Prunus Amanogawa, it's important to be aware of potential problems that can arise. Inadequate watering is a common issue as they require consistent moisture while establishing. Conversely, overwatering can also cause root rot problems, particularly in poorly drained soils. Powdery mildew and leaf spot can affect Prunus Amanogawa and these are often exacerbated with poor air circulation and persistent, damp conditions. Common pests include aphids, scale insects, and vine weevils which cause damage to leaves and stems. Fungal diseases and pest problems are easily fixed with an appropriate agrichemical. Similarly, careful attention to soil drainage and watering will resolve the underlying cause of most issues.
