Wild Cherry
Prunus avium PlenaAbout this product
Prunus avium Plena, also known as Wild Cherry, features dark green foliage that emerges after a spectacular display of brilliant double white flowers in spring, typical of cherry trees. In autumn, it offers a glorious show of brilliant reds and oranges, complementing its spring blooms beautifully.
Prunus avium Plena is a fairly large cherry tree which has been cultivated since the 1700s. Much like its parent, it retains a strong central leader, leaving a broadly pyramidal shape that turns more rounded as the tree matures.
Like all cherry trees, this double flowering version of a native tree will thrive on most free draining soils.
This tree is a wonderful addition to any planting scheme, its display of blossom in the spring never failing to disappoint. Care should be taken to ensure Prunus avium Plena is planted with the space to accommodate its eventual size, as this beauty is capable of forming a fairly large tree at maturity for a cherry.
It is a great choice of avenue tree and works well in a rural setting, where its classic nature enables its ornamental features to deliver their beauty without overwhelming the natural landscape.
Mature height: 7-12m
