Calling all bark fans! The Tibetan cherry is an absolute standout, with lustrous, coppery hues that bring a much-needed shot of vibrancy to the winter landscape. Also known as the Birch Bark Tree, Paperbark and Cellophane Bark Cherry, it's got more aliases than David Bowie... As the tree grows, it peels off in translucent strips that look like stained glass. After a few years the trunk will also develop deep lenticels (bumpy lines), adding a tactile appeal. In spring, you'll see clusters of flowers that bees love! Following that, green foliage emerges, turning golden in autumn. Ornamental cherries appear in autumn, turning from red to white as they ripen. A low-maintenance tree which is happy in any moist but well-drained soil (apart from chalk) and won't need much pruning. Team it with silver birch to bring out the colour of both trees. Our mature trees are grown in Air-Pots®, the only type of pot to completely eliminate root circling. A unique design stimulates air pruning for a mass of healthy fibrous roots, which results in a healthy tree that will establish quickly in your garden. With each Air-Pot® made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery - but if you’d rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-Pot® to your basket along with your tree.
