Pinkish bronze leaves. (Deciduous)
Common Name: Flowering Cherry Tree
Latin Name: Prunus 'Spire'
Soil: Tolerates most soil types
Position: Full sun
Flowering period/colour: April/soft pink coloured flowers
Hardiness: Fully hardy
Height/ spread in 20 years: 3.5m/1.5m
Special features: Pinkish bronze leaves
A slender, upright tree, columnar when young but fanning out slightly as it ages. It has small, soft pink single flowers in April. These come from red calyces and are red-eyed. The pinkish bronze leaves are unfurling at the same time, so the effect is a little fuzzy from a distance but, close up, are full of charming detail. This would make a good specimen for a smallish garden.
This Flowering Cherry Tree is supplied bare rooted suitable for planting from November until March or in a 10 litre container suitable for planting all year round. The total height of this half standard tree is approximately 1.8-2.2m (6-7ft).
Our bare rooted trees are hand lifted from our nursery on the day or day before despatch. There will be no soil around the roots but they are covered with a bag to prevent them drying out. If you are unable to plant the trees immediately there is no need to panic. The trees are completely dormant this time of year, which means as long as the roots are kept out of the frost and well wrapped up no harm will come to them, although the sooner you can get them planted in the ground the better.
An example of one our half standard Flowering Cherry Trees can be seen to the left.
All of our trees and shrubs are grown in the UK to the highest standard. Every order comes complete with planting instructions and a guide to looking after your purchase.
