A pink cherry blossom variety with an ultimate height of <3m?

[RainyDays8]

The Accolade variety looks lovely but it can grow up to 8m tall!

Can anyone recommend a smaller, pink (rather than white) variety please?

And... ideally not a weeping variety but one with a nice spread Thank you!

Less than 3m is really only a shrub, I don't think any cherry blossom tree is that small. Perhaps you can find one grafted onto dwarfing stock of some kind (like they do for fruit trees)

Prunus incisa 'Kojo-No-Mai

It seemed quite tall when we measured it in our living room 😁

Perhaps we could go a bit higher then!

Will take a look at that one @Slightlybemusedstill thank you 🌸

A Flagpole cherry blossom. Grows to approx 12ft with a spread of 1m.

Have a look at the Mail Order Trees website, they have a nice variety of ornamental cherries and you can filter by colour.
Prunus Pink Perfection maybe? It's pink and spreading, and although they quote up to 5m in 10 years, they describe it as a small tree. I've had one in the ground for years now and it hasn't grown much taller at all.

A couple of images for you. I am thinking of getting one of these for my front garden.

Kojo No Mai is very small and also lovely Mine is just starting to come into blossom now. Its leaves go a vivid crimson in autumn.

Just remembered another good one that’s more your size: Pandora

I’ve been very happy with Blackmoor Nurseries for this sort of thing. We have a quince in a very large container that is utterly lovely and some good apple trees.

Little Pink Perfection.

The Kojo-no-mai might not be pink enough for you - although it flowers its socks off on bare branches and is wonderful year round. Even in winter the bare braches look very architectural.
Prunus mume 'Beni-chidori' is meant to be 2.5m in 20 years but apparently needs protection from wind.

I've just planted one too, mine is still quite small but will get to max 1.70cm
It's flowering at the moment and looks great
It has white flowers would recommend

I adore mine! I have it in a huge pot for 17 years and therefore it is kept small. It has blossomed now and the flowers always makes me smile even on cold dreary winter days. 😊

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do. Thoroughly recommend!

@CoffeeBeansGalore I’ve got a flagpole cherry blossom from roots. Only just planted it a few weeks ago though so not much happening yet.

Kojo-no-mai is gorgeous, but slow growing.

It is common to find ornamental cherries that have been double grafted/top worked, which means that they will be more restricted in size. RHS and other sites will typically tell you how big a tree will grow on its own roots and without top grafting. For example, I have a top-grafted prunus autumnalis (pale pink, very pretty) which is a half-standard at about five feet. The trunk won't grow taller; the part above the second graft will get wider, but shouldn't grow enormously taller. It might get over 3 metres but won't reach the full size of the tree on its own roots; I'd be surprised if it got over 4.

Most ornamental cherries you can buy commercially are grafted stock, typically onto dwarfing rootstocks. It's very normal for nurseries to stock small trees that will not top 3m; it is a high-demand part of the market.

If it's on dwarfing stock then variety doesn't matter, it is the stock that gives the size.

If you like Accolade you could have that, you just need to make sure it's on dwarfing stock.

Not in the UK so not seen cherries that small.

It's more complicated than that - you can restrict size both through rootstock and through top-working. Accolade on a dwarfing stock ought to be fairly available. I could be wrong, but my sense is that selling ornamentals as half-standards is commoner than simply selling them on a dwarfing stock in bush form. But that might just reflect what local nurseries do.
