The Direct Plants Flowering Cherry Tree 'Blushing Bride' is for gardeners seeking a beautiful, eye-catching ornamental tree that offers stunning spring blossoms and attractive foliage. Its key benefit is the vibrant display of semi-double, blush-pink flowers. A consideration is its mature size, though it can be pruned to manage dimensions.

The tree typically grows to a height of 2.5 to 4 meters (8 to 13 feet) and spreads about 1.5 to 2 meters (5 to 6.5 feet). However, it can be pruned to keep it smaller.
Yes, this cherry tree is well-suited for growing in containers on patios or balconies, especially when you want to create a dramatic yet manageable plant.
It prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Improving heavy soils with compost is recommended for better drainage.
The best time to prune is in late summer after the flowering period to shape the tree or manage its size. Avoid heavy pruning in late autumn or winter.
The tree thrives in full sun to partial shade, meaning it needs at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day to perform best.
Semi-double flowers have more than the usual five petals but not as many as fully double flowers, and 'pom pom' refers to their rounded, full appearance.
The young leaves' burnt red color provides early-season visual interest and contrast before they mature into their glossy dark green state.
This can indicate overwatering, poor drainage, or nutrient deficiency. Check soil moisture, ensure good drainage, and consider a spring fertilizer if drainage is adequate.
Ensure the tree receives adequate sunlight (at least 4-6 hours daily). Frost damage in late spring can also affect blooms. Pruning at the wrong time (e.g., late winter) can remove flower buds.
Inspect leaves regularly. Small infestations can be washed off with water. For larger infestations, use insecticidal soap or neem oil, following product instructions.
Check watering. It could be due to underwatering or overwatering. Ensure the soil is neither too dry nor waterlogged.
