Prunus serrula Tibetan Cherry

Loved for both its bark and foliage, Prunus serrula Tibetica, or Tibetan Cherry, will make a magnificent addition to your landscape, all year round. On its outside, the bark will be a rich mahogany shade, before peeling to reveal shades of honey and cinnamon. It will illuminate beautifully under the sun, but also brighten up your garden on the dullest of days! Similar to the foliage seen on a willow tree, the leaves are mid-green but will offer a lovely show of yellow in the autumn. In spring, bowl-shaped white blossomswill also appear, followed by red berries much loved by birds. Perfect for the average garden, this cherry will be a great single specimen focal point.
