A very widely planted and most popular Flowering Cherry.
A very widely planted and most popular Flowering Cherry.
Introduced in the early 1900s, it has won numerous awards culminating in the Award of Garden Merit in 2002.
Its large green leaves can turn to a glorious display in the autumn but first emerge a coppery red.
It is more vigorous but otherwise similar to ‘Pink Perfection’.
This cherry has stiffly ascending branched forming a columnar crown when young before becoming more rounded at maturity.
It is of medium height and reliably produces plenty of very showy, dark pink flowers in the spring.
Sometimes rather too vigorous for paved areas, it is, nevertheless, good in parks.
Mature height: 5-10m
