‘Cloud-like' cherry blossom tree that creates an ‘elegant, soft-pink' bloom is on sale for £35
Cherry blossom trees are a covetable accessory for any garden, border, or patio. Thanks to their graceful bouquet of pastel pinks and whites, which arrives suddenly during the spring, they drop stunning petals like snowflakes and are an eye-catching addition to any outdoor space.
But if you'd been worrying that these trees are a costly investment to your garden, fret not, as this refined specimen is currently up for grabs for £34.99 at Gardening Express.
The Prunus 'Pandora', or cherry blossom, is a graceful and refined tree that looks beautiful in smaller gardens or on elegant avenues. Blooming in early spring, this gorgeous tree bursts into soft blush-pink single flowers that fade to near-white as they mature, creating a delicate, cloud-like canopy. The flowers emerge just before the fresh green foliage, which later takes on warm golden and orange tones in autumn, adding a seasonal charm through most of the year.
Boasting an upright, vase-shaped habit, the Pandora cherry tree is ideal for narrow spaces or formal planting, whether you keep it in a planter or add it straight to the garden. This head-turning tree thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and bathes in full sun.
That said, this tree is both hardy and low-maintenance, making it an easy plant to add to any space without the need for difficult care. You can prune it lightly in summer to maintain its neat form or let it grow freely into a wilder, unique shape.
Adding character and a vibrant display to your yard, patio or borders, this cherry blossom tree is set to keep a stunning array of shades from spring to autumn, ensuring your garden is full of colour through most of the year. And what's more, this tree comes with the affordable price tag of £34.99, making it a wallet-friendly and beautiful choice.
If you're on the hunt for alternative cherry blossom trees, check out this Prunus 'Amanogawa' Cherry Blossom Tree, which retails for £24.99 at You Garden. Over on Amazon, this Cheal's Weeping Pink Flowering Cherry Tree is available for £59.99, while B&Q offers this Japanese Flowering Cherry Blossom Tree for £44.99.

My tried-and tested method for getting sun cream stains out of clothes
After much trial and error, beauty and travel editor Laura Mulley has hit upon a foolproof three-step formula for removing stubborn sunscreen and make-up stains from clothes I feel like I talk about this a lot, but it's one of my biggest bugbears in summer: the frustration of seeing my favourite light-coloured summer clothing constantly ruined from wearing sun cream. And as someone who travels a lot as part of my job as a travel editor, this was becoming a regular problem. I've tried so many solutions found on the internet, from sun-bleaching and citric acid to rust removers and lemon juice, but none or these worked. However, after years of trial and error, I've hit upon a three-step process that removes the worst of these stains from clothes, using products you can easily find in the supermarket or on Amazon. Not just useful after a hot holiday when you slather on sun cream regularly, this process also works on collars and necklines that have been discoloured by skincare products containing SPF (which of course you should be wearing every day) or foundation. It's not the quickest (it takes about 24 hours in total) and it hasn't removed some of the very old, very yellow marks, but it's what works best for me. It might be worth researching trying to find a sunscreen that doesn't contain avobenzone, oxybenzone or octocrylene, said to be the main culprits; this isn't an easy task, but I found that this one didn't leave lasting stains. SPF oils appear to be the worst for this. I should note first, however, that I'm not a laundry expect – this is simply what works for me – so do always read your item's care label beforehand, and use your best judgement. How to remove sun cream stains from clothes Step one The first thing I do is apply Vanish PowerGel Stain Remover (£6) to the affected areas, and spray it with a little Elbow Grease (currently a very good price of £1.99 for a big one litre bottle) – these could be applied in either order. As its name suggests, Elbow Grease breaks down the oil element of the sunscreen, and was a tip given to me by the mum of a messy toddler. Leave these two products on the clothing for a few minutes (Vanish advises that their product is left on for five minutes maximum, but I'm sure I've exceeded this). Step two The step that I think makes the most difference. Fill a big bowl or bucket with warm water, a handful of Napisan (currently £9.49) and a squirt of Fairy Liquid, and leave your clothes to soak in this solution overnight. Washing up liquid again helps to break down grease, and Napisan is the star product, a miracle stain remover I learnt about from another mum. You must leave it to work overnight, but it works brilliantly (it's also great for getting trainers back to white). Step three In the morning, wash your clothes on a slightly hotter washing machine cycle if the fabrics can take it (check the care label), with a cupful of ACE Ultra For Colours Stain Remover (£10.48 for two) instead of your usual detergent, which I think this adds the final helping hand in the fight against sun cream stains. This method isn't 100% perfect but it leaves my white clothes looking better than any other product or trick I've tried, and I'll never be without these five household products in my cupboard now.
