I purchase box hedging today at Cullen nurseries. The plants were fantastic quality and very reasonably priced. I meet both Rob and Caitriona who could not have been more friendly and helpful. Rob had the plants loaded in my car by the time I came back out from paying for them. Thanks Rob!! Great customer service and great range of trees and hedging.

We bought the 200 native hedging pack and are very happy with them. Caitriona was really helpful answering the few questions we had regarding planting. Even after the tough summer the hedging is growing well.

Benefits of Native Cherry Blossom Trees to Biodiversity & Ecosystems

Planting a cherry blossom tree is a fantastic way of helping the environment and encouraging biodiversity in your garden. A single cherry tree can provide food and shelter for so many life forms, from birds and mammals, to lots of different species of insects throughout the entire year. Spring flowering of the white cup-shaped flowers provides a source of nectar for pollinating bees, the crown-shaped head of the tree provides a home to nesting birds and then the abundant cherries that appear in  Autumn provide a valuable food source for birds.

How & When to Plant Your Tree

  • Cherry blossom trees can be planted from pots all year round or as bare root plants from November to March.
  • You can learn how to choose between bare root or potted plants in our Resources section or by clicking Here.
  • We grow our Native Cherry trees here in our native Nursery.
  • When planting bare-root plants, it is best to break up the soil really well and loose.
  • Dig the hole and place the tree with the roots exposed in the hole.
  • Be careful not to damage the Roots.
  • Place the tree in the hole up to the collar of the tree.
  • Shovel back in the loosed soil and firm the plant in place by walking in the plant.
  • A good guide to follow is to have the soil loose enough for the water to get in, but not loose enough for the air to get in.

Aftercare for your Tree.

If planted in dry weather, trees should be watered regularly to ensure growth. We would also recommend watering id the first Summer after planting is a dry and hot Summer.

Ideally, trees should be staked and secured with a Timber Stake and Tree Tie Combo to give them added protection from the wind. Be mindful to plant cherry blossom trees on higher ground where they are not as susceptible to frost. Frost could damage the flower buds in Spring which would hinder the production of cherry fruits later in the Summer. Also, note that cherry fruits begin to appear usually around year 4 after planting and you will most likely not achieve fruit in the first few years after planting.
