The floral display is particularly impressive against the tree's broad, horizontal branching structure.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAs flowering finishes, large green leaves emerge, creating a leafy canopy throughout summer. In autumn, the foliage develops lovely shades of yellow and orange before falling to reveal the tree's attractive spreading framework.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWith its naturally broad, layered growth habit, Mt Fuji Flowering Cherry makes an excellent feature tree for gardens with plenty of space to accommodate its impressive canopy.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMature size: approximately 5 metres high × 10 metres wide\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Growing Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPlant in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare the planting area thoroughly before planting, ensuring the soil is well worked and drains freely.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWhen planting a grafted tree, keep the graft union above soil level. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent soil moisture while the tree establishes, particularly during extended periods of hot, dry weather.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nApply a suitable slow-release fertiliser at planting and again as new growth develops, following the product's application instructions. Mulch around the base to help retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch clear of the trunk.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPrune only as required to maintain a balanced shape or remove dead, damaged or crossing branches. Light pruning after flowering is preferable to heavy pruning, helping preserve the tree's naturally spreading habit.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAllow plenty of room for its wide, horizontal branches to develop without crowding nearby structures or other trees.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n– Feature planting.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n– Large gardens and open lawns.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n– Spring flowering displays.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n– Creating a broad, spreading canopy.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n– Japanese-inspired gardens.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n– Traditional and cottage-style gardens.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n– Autumn foliage colour.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n– Ornamental specimen trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Warran Glen Garden Centre \u0026 Cafe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68292942692603,"sku":"sermf","price":59.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0453\/6601\/8210\/files\/39484_MtFuji.jpg?v=1791590974","url":"https:\/\/warranglen.com.au\/products\/cherry-flowering-mt-fuji","provider":"Warran Glen Garden Centre \u0026 Cafe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
