If you’re short on space but still want that classic cherry blossom look, Prunus ‘Sunset Boulevard’ is a brilliant choice. It has a naturally narrow, upright shape, making it perfect for smaller gardens or lining a driveway, while still putting on a beautiful spring display of soft pink, semi double flowers. As the blossoms fade, fresh green foliage takes over, creating a neat and structured tree that holds its shape well through the seasons.
