A native UK deciduous tree, Prunus avium is a wonderful addition for supporting local wildlife, attracting birds, insects, and pollinators.
In spring, clusters of pure white blossoms emerge from red buds, followed by bright green, serrated leaves.
By July, small red cherries appear, a favourite treat for garden birds.
Come autumn, the foliage transforms into a stunning display of vibrant red and orange.
Perfect as a standalone feature tree in a lawn, for woodland-style gardens, or positioned at the back of a border.
This hardy tree is expertly pruned before dispatch to encourage a strong, bushy habit.
