Prunus ‘Chocolate Ice’ (Matsumae-fuki) Tree – Rare Flowering Cherry

Prunus ‘Chocolate Ice’, also known as Matsumae-fuki, is a distinctive ornamental cherry prized for its large, semi-double to double flowers, which open blush pink and mature to pure white in mid to late spring. The flowers hang in elegant clusters, contrasting beautifully against the emerging bronze-tinted foliage, which matures to green in summer before turning fiery shades of orange and red in autumn. Its graceful spreading habit and unusual blossom make it a collector’s favourite and a superb specimen tree.
