About Prunus Serrula Standard 8-10cm Girth Root Ball Delivery From November Onwards
Prunus serrula Standard – The Tree with Shining Bark
Prunus serrula, the Tibetan Cherry, is one of the most striking ornamental cherries, celebrated for its lustrous bark and elegant form. As a Standard tree with an 8–10 cm girth, it offers strong structure with refined seasonal beauty.
In spring, clouds of small, pure white blossoms cover the branches, attracting pollinators and creating a delicate floral display. The fine, narrow green leaves emerge soon after, turning warm golden shades in autumn before falling. In winter, the polished, mahogany-red bark takes centre stage, gleaming in low light and adding vivid colour to bare landscapes.
Why Choose Prunus serrula Standard?
Year-Round Beauty – Spring blossom, summer foliage, autumn colour, and winter bark.
Unique Bark – Shiny mahogany-red bark is among the finest of any ornamental tree.
Elegant Form – Standard crown with balanced structure.
Wildlife Friendly – Flowers attract bees and other pollinators.
