Description

Prunus serrulata Royal Burgundy

Royal Burgundy is a medium-sized ornamental cherry tree, grown for its purple leaves and fiery hot embers Autumn colour. 

It is very upright and narrow when young, and can be trained to grow straight up to 11-12 metres, but around 6-8 metres is more typical, because the tree spreads more with age.

Features:

  • Height: 8-11m
  • Wine purple new leaves
  • Pink flowers Apr-May
  • Great Autumn colour
  • RHS Award of Garden Merit

Growing Royal Burgundy Cherry

We recommend planting in full sun, which ensures the best foliage colour. Any well drained soil is fine. If your soil is poor, mulch extra well every year. 

How Standard Trees are Measured:
All our large trees are graded by their girth in centimetres 1 metre above ground level. They aren't measured by their height. So, a 6/8 standard has a trunk with a circumference of 6-8 centimetres, and an 8/10 standard has a trunk 8-10 centimetres. In any variety, an 8/10 is taller than a 6/8 but the heights between different varieties can vary hugely. So standard trees are roughly 2.5 - 4.5 metres tall.
