Winter Flowering Cherry Large Trees

Prunus Autumnalis: Bareroot Winter Flowering Cherry Trees in Standard Sizes

Prunus subhirtella Autumnalis is an Autumn-Winter flowering cherry tree with dark pink buds that open into mostly white blossom. It blooms on bare wood during mild spells from late October to February. The flowers are sometimes followed by very bitter small fruit, which are loved by birds. The leaves are bronze in spring, turning green and then ruddy-gold in autumn. A very pretty tree that casts light shade and can be grown in the smallest garden.
It can reach a height of about 7 metres.

Delivery season: Cherry blossom trees are delivered bareroot during late autumn and winter, approximately November-March inclusive.
Choosing a size: Small trees are cheaper, easier to handle and more forgiving of less than ideal aftercare, so they are best for a big planting project. If instant impact is your priority, or if you are only buying a few plants for use in a place where it is convenient to water them well in their first year, then you may as well use bigger ones. All our bareroot trees are measured by their height in centimetres above the ground (the roots aren't measured).

Features:

• Height: To 7m
• Soil: Any decently well drained
• Use: Specimen, small gardens
• Colour: Pink buds, mostly white blossom in October-February
• Bareroot delivery only: November-March
  

Growing Prunus Autumnalis

It will grow on most well drained soils, preferably rich ones, and although it is a hardy tree, we recommend planting it in sheltered, sunny places, where it will flower best.
