Prunus serrulata 'Shirofugen' is a striking ornamental cherry renowned for its dramatic, colour-changing blossom. In late spring, large double flowers open creamy white before slowly developing soft pink tones as they mature, extending visual interest over a prolonged period. The blooms are carried in generous clusters along wide-spreading branches, creating a bold and elegant display. After flowering, young foliage emerges with attractive bronze and copper hues, adding another layer of seasonal appeal. With its strong structure, rich ornamental detail, and reliable performance, 'Shirofugen' is an outstanding choice for gardeners seeking a cherry tree with depth, character, and long-lasting impact.
