Prunus Maackii
Manchurian Cherry Tree

The bark is highly recognisable due to its glossy bronzed coating, and as the tree matures the bark becomes fissured and rugged. The flowers are also of great interest and these arrive in spring; the small white flowers are sweetly scented and open in racemes all over the tree in May. The leaves are of the typical prunus shape, with a vivid green colour and slightly serrated edges. The ornamental bark of this tree makes it the perfect choice for winter interest; a great all-rounder.
