Fresh seeds of Prunus serrulata (Japanese Flowering Cherry / Sakura Tree) – with full instructions for germination.
Prunus serrulata is an incredibly beautiful, deciduous tree, native to Japan, China, Korea and Russia, growing to an eventual height of 15 – 35 ft. During spring, lovely flowers are produced at the same time as emerging foliage, with five petals in a delicate white colour, often with subtle hints of pink. Thousands of people gather each year in Japan at world-famous cherry blossom festivals, a tradition called ‘Hanami’.
The smooth bark is chestnut-brown, with serrated foliage that transitions from green to shades of yellow, red and crimson during autumn. Cherry blossoms, which are considered the national flower of Japan, herald the start of spring and symbolise life, good health, and happiness. Often called Sakarus, Sakura is the Japanese word for flowering cherry trees and cherry blossom. Fully hardy to -20°C. Please note, as a temperate tree species, the seeds need a 90 day cold stratification period in order to replicate the cold season and therefore break seed dormancy, prior to germination.
