The head is built from fine zig zag twigs that look sculptural bare in winter, then break into small pale pink flowers from dark buds before any leaf appears. As a standard it holds a compact ball of growth on a straight trunk, so it suits pots, courtyards and formal pairs where a full sized cherry would never fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Kojo-no-mai Fuji Cherry\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrained Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: A grafted head on a clear stem gives a lollipop outline that stays small and needs only light annual shaping.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinter Silhouette\u003c\/strong\u003e: The distinctive zig zag branching pattern is a feature in its own right once the leaves drop.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEarly Flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e: Small pink flushed white flowers open from deeper pink buds in late winter, ahead of most other cherries.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutumn Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fine toothed leaves turn orange and red before falling, giving a second seasonal display.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Friendly\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slow growth and a restrained root system make it a genuine long term pot specimen.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormal Pairs\u003c\/strong\u003e: Matched standards flanking an entry, gate or set of steps.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCourtyard Feature\u003c\/strong\u003e: A single tree in a small paved garden where a full sized cherry is impossible.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Planters\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grown in a substantial pot on a terrace or balcony in a cool climate.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepeated Rhythm\u003c\/strong\u003e: A line of standards along a path or lawn edge, underplanted with low ground cover.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e Not a hedging plant, repeat standards at 1.5 to 2m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 3m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter while dormant, or early spring\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free draining, fertile soil that stays evenly moist, neutral to slightly acidic, and never waterlogged around the graft\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water twice a week through the first summer and keep the stem staked until the head is self supporting, as grafted standards are vulnerable to wind rock.
