Description
Pure white spring flowers cover the cascading branches of Prunus Snofozam for about three weeks, opening from pink buds before the leaves emerge. Its compact weeping form suits small gardens, courtyard borders, patios, and Asian-style gardens.
Dark green leaves follow the flowers, then turn gold and orange in fall. Small red fruit matures to black in summer and is inedible. The flowers attract butterflies, while the fruit attracts birds.
Plant in full sun or partial shade in moist, fertile, well-drained soil. Prune lightly after flowering only when needed. The plant material is toxic if eaten and should be kept away from children, pets, and grazing animals.
