Japanese flowering Cherry ‘Amanogawa’ – Prunus serrulata ‘Amanogawa’
Main interest
The Japanese flowering cherry ‘Amanogawa’ (Prunus serrulata ‘Amanogawa’) is a graceful, upright columnar tree renowned for its soft pink semi-double blossoms and brilliant orange autumn colour.
Its narrow habit makes it perfect for small gardens, courtyards, or urban landscapes.
The lightly scented flowers open in April–May, fading from delicate pink to pale white, creating a subtle colour gradient.
Origin and botanical features
‘Amanogawa’, meaning “Milky Way” in Japanese, was introduced to Europe in the early 1900s.
It grows upright and narrow, reaching 6 m tall and 1.5 m wide.
Young leaves emerge bronze, turning green in summer, and finally orange to amber in autumn.
The bark is smooth and silvery-brown, adding winter interest.

Thrives in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil.
Avoid heavy or waterlogged conditions.
A sheltered spot enhances flowering and fragrance.
Planting and care
Plant in autumn or spring.
Water regularly during establishment.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain form.
Hardy to around –24 °C and generally disease-resistant.
Garden use
Thanks to its upright columnar shape, Amanogawa is perfect for:
- narrow borders and driveways,
- small urban gardens,
- or as a vertical accent in mixed plantings.
It pairs beautifully with magnolias and crab apples for spring displays.
The Japanese cherry ‘Amanogawa’ (Prunus serrulata) combines delicate beauty with architectural form.
Its fragrant pink blossoms and upright habit make it perfect for small spaces.
With vibrant autumn colour and minimal care needs, it remains a year-round feature in the garden.
