Prunus ‘Chocolate Ice’ is a distinctive ornamental Flowering Cherry tree, supplied as an impressive XL approximately 6ft tall established tree in a substantial 7.5 litre pot. At this excellent size, it provides immediate height, structure and presence, making it a superb choice for instant gardening and creating a mature garden effect.
‘Chocolate Ice’ is particularly valued for the striking contrast between its delicate white spring blossom and rich bronze to chocolate-coloured young foliage. The pale flowers stand out beautifully against the darker emerging leaves, creating an unusual and highly ornamental spring display.
As the season progresses, the foliage develops greener tones while retaining an attractive depth of colour, creating a handsome leafy canopy through summer. Its combination of spring blossom, distinctive foliage and graceful branching habit gives this flowering cherry interest well beyond its main flowering period.
At approximately 6ft tall when supplied, these established nursery trees offer considerably more immediate impact than smaller young trees. ‘Chocolate Ice’ makes an excellent feature tree for lawns, borders, front gardens, cottage gardens and contemporary ornamental planting schemes.

Please note: Prunus ‘Chocolate Ice’ is deciduous, so trees naturally lose their foliage during autumn and winter and may arrive completely bare during the dormant season. Foliage colour changes naturally as the leaves mature and can vary according to season and growing conditions. Blossom is seasonal and cannot be guaranteed at the time of dispatch. Height, branching, shape and fullness will naturally vary between individual trees. Plants are carefully selected before dispatch to provide strong, established XL approximately 6ft trees ready to create immediate garden impact.
