Description
This is a robust cherry that has creamy, rather yellowish flowers, borne in late April and early May. The flowers may briefly co-exist with the bronzed young spring foliage. There is good red and purple colour in autumn before leaf fall. This tree does well as a specimen, it may also be planted with low growing shrubs. It should reach a height of around 8m with an equivalent spread so ensure you plant it in a position that allows for this growth.
