Description
A slender, upright tree, columnar when young but fanning out slightly as it ages. It has small, soft pink single flowers in April. These come from red calyces and are red-eyed. The pinkish bronze leaves are unfurling at the same time, so the effect is a little fuzzy from a distance but, close up, are full of charming detail. This would make a good specimen for a smallish garden.
Common Name: Flowering Cherry Tree
Latin Name: Prunus ‘Spire’
