Here's how to grow a cherry tree at home. Nothing says spring quite like the white and pink of cherry blossom against a bright blue sky. As part of the nationwide Sakura Cherry Tree Project (japanuksakura.org) symbolising UK-Japan friendship and cooperation, RHS gardens are among 160 sites planting flowering cherry trees. For gardeners wanting to bring cherry blossom into their own gardens, there's an ornamental cherry tree for every taste and garden size, whether you want a large spreading tree, a narrow upright, or dwarf weeping form. Although it can reach 4-8m height, it won't get broader than 3m, and carries delicately fragrant semi-double pale pink flowers.
