Prunus Snowfountain''Snofozam'

Snowfountain Cherry

Snow Fountains flowering cherry (Prunus ‘Snofozam’) drapes its weeping branches in white early-spring flowers. The foliage follows the blooms, then takes on golden yellow and orange tones in autumn.

Its size depends strongly on how it is grafted and trained. A supported or top-grafted plant forms a small weeping tree; unsupported growth can spread along the ground, so check the form of the individual plant when planning its space.

Grow in sun or partial shade with well-drained soil and regular water during establishment. Confirm the graft height and training style before setting the final spacing.
