Description of the plant:
The prunus genus contains over 400 species which are useful and beautiful at the same time. There are cherries, plums, peaches or sloes, as well as flowering Japanese cherries, cherry laurels etc. This variety received its name for the season in which it can re-flower if the end of autumn is warm. Higan cherry has pink, semi-double flowers with pink calyxes. Give this beautiful tree time to make a decent crown to show its abundant flowering beauty every spring. Needs moist soil.
