Sargent’s Cherry
Probably the best flowering cherry for year-round interest, Prunus sargentii is a medium-sized, fairly fast-growing, deciduous tree with a spreading, open, vase-shaped habit and glossy, dark brown bark. The long, ovate leaves emerge bronze-red, turn green in summer, then in autumn turn fiery shades of orange and red. In April, before the leaves emerge, the tree is covered with pale, rose-pink, single flowers, 4cm across and a good source of nectar. These are followed by small, shiny, cherry-like fruits in shades of yellow, orange, red and purple, which are very attractive to birds. A beautiful tree, especially lovely planted by water.
