Prunus Felix Jury
$90.00
Prunus campanulata ‘Felix Jury’ (often referred to as the Taiwan Flowering Cherry) is a deciduous, upright, slender pyramidal cherry tree. Bred in New Zealand, it is celebrated for its mass of deep-rose to claret-red pendulous flowers, which start in late winter to early spring.
This spectacular ornamental tree typically grows to a mature height of 5 m with a width of 3 m. In late winter to early spring, it produces a profusion of bell-shaped, claret-red blossoms on bare branches, offering a vital nectar source that native Tūī birds absolutely love. The spring/summer lush green foliage turns spectacular shades of yellow, gold, and bright orange in the autumn before dropping.
This tree performs best in full sun in free-draining, moderately fertile soil. It is known for good frost tolerance, adapting well to cool climates and coastal/humid environments. Plant in a location protected from harsh winds, as strong gusts can strip the blossoms. Minimal maintenance is required; simply water deeply during dry spells when establishing, and apply a light shaping prune in late spring after flowering concludes.
