The Prunus 'Hokusai' is a pretty tree with beautiful bronze-brown oval leaves, which emerge in spring. This wide-spreading, deciduous tree was brought over from Japan in 1860 and has been a popular choice ever since. 'Hokusai' is used in parks and gardens as a specimen tree; remember when planting that this tree has a broad spread when mature. Responds well to occasional light pruning.
