A truly magnificent tree for the winter months. Prunus serrula is a small, round-headed, deciduous tree that has absolutely beautiful red-brown mahogany-like bark. Small, white flowers are produced in the spring. In the autumn, expect to see some great foliage colour. Likes full sun. Moist but well-drained soil.
Prunus serrula works well in the following gardens/areas:
- Architectural
- City and courtyard gardens
- Cottage and informal gardens
- Wildlife gardens
- Flower borders and beds
