Collingwood Ingram is an outstanding small flowering cherry tree, and a perfect choice for the smaller garden.

In autumn the leaves turn orange, providing a further splash of colour in the garden.

Growing and Training

Collingwood Ingram is susceptible to cherry leaf spot (Blumeriella jaapii) which causes small dark red spots on the leaves.  This infection is sometimes known as "shot hole" in fruiting cherries, but does not seem to affect flowering cherries as severely. Infections are more prevalent in areas with warm wet spring weather. Infection can be minimised or avoided altogether by the simple precaution of clearing up dead leaves in the autumn, which is where the fungus which causes the infection over-winters.

History

This cherry is named after Captain Collingwood Ingram, an English enthusiast of Japanese flowering cherries. During the first half of the 20th century he was responsible for introducing a large number of ornamental cherries from China and Japan to western gardeners.

Prunus Collingwood Ingram is a seedling of Prunus Kursar, and therefore essentially a form of Prunus campanulata - the Formosan Cherry. Its small compact upright shape and dark pink blossom are both characteristic of this species. It can be perhaps considered an improved form of Kursar - although Kursar is itself one of the most outstanding small flowering cherries.
