Prunus Avium Plena Rootballed Standard 8/10 cm Girth

Prunus Avium Plena commonly known as Double-Flowering Wild Cherry is a beautiful ornamental cultivar of the native wild cherry tree (Prunus avium). This deciduous tree is particularly admired for its stunning double white blossoms in spring, graceful form, and elegant seasonal changes. It shares many qualities with the wild cherry but offers even greater ornamental value due to its double flowers.

A popular choice for 

• Profusion of Double White Flowers: In early to mid-spring (April), Prunus avium 'Plena' bursts into a dense display of double, pure white flowers. These blossoms are fuller than those of the wild cherry due to their extra petals, creating a cloud-like appearance across the tree. This makes it one of the most striking spring-flowering trees, with an elegant and showy display that brightens up any garden.
• Focus on Ornamental Beauty: Since Prunus avium 'Plena' doesn’t produce fruit, all its energy is focused on producing beautiful blossoms and lush foliage, making it a purely ornamental choice.
• Golden and Red Autumn Foliage: In autumn, Prunus avium 'Plena' undergoes a stunning transformation as its leaves turn shades of golden yellow, orange, and red. This vibrant display adds a warm and fiery touch to the landscape, making the tree a standout feature during the autumn months.
• Glossy Reddish-Brown Bark: In winter, after the leaves have fallen, Prunus avium 'Plena' reveals its smooth, reddish-brown bark with horizontal lenticels (small, raised lines). This bark adds winter interest and texture to the garden, making the tree attractive even in the dormant season.

Prunus avium 'Plena' is suitable for a range of garden styles, including formal, cottage, and woodland gardens. It makes an excellent focal point in lawns or open spaces and can also be planted in rows along avenues or driveways for a striking display of spring blossom.

Prunus avium 'Plena' is tolerant of a wide range of soil types, from sandy soils to clay, provided the soil is well-drained. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral soils but can adapt to other conditions. To achieve the best flowering and growth, Prunus avium 'Plena' prefers a sunny position, although it can tolerate light shade.
