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 blossoms will 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. Soil: Fertile, free-draining soil. If the soil is not free-draining, plant the tree in a raised mound of soil and compost mix, to prevent water logging. Conditions: Full sun. Wind and frost tolerant. Size: Height 8-12m x width 8m
