Prunus 'Pandora'

Hybrid between Prunus ‘Beni Higan Sakura’ and Prunus x yedoensis raised by Waterer Sons and Crisp prior to 1939.

The deep pink buds open from late March through to April to produce profuse white flowers 30-50mm across with a pink flush to the edges of the petals. The leaves are bright green with a reddish yellow autumnal colour while the bark is dark shiny brown. It has an upright habit making it suitable for small gardens. It can grow to 7m with a spread of 4m.
