Requires Little Pruning
All the charm of a cherry tree in a smaller package, this shrub-like beauty reaches just 3-5’ tall and wide. Showy pink powder-puff blooms with dozens of petals in mid-spring. Foliage emerges coppery-orange then turns to deep green. The purple-black fruits are seldom produced. A sweet charmer – just like its namesake. You too can collect Zuzu's petals! Beautifully colored in autumn. Dense branching provides a lush full look all year even when the deciduous foliage has dropped. Prunus Zuzu has a natural narrow columnar shape so requires little pruning. Underplant with Tulips or Daffodils for an incredible spring show. Proven Winners® selections are trialed and tested to be colorful, long blooming, carefree and easy to grow.
