Winter Flowering Cherry 'Autumnalis Rosea'

Prunus subhirtella 'Autumnalis Rosea', or Winter Flowering Cherry, is a deciduous ornamental tree that bears dark pink buds that open to pink semi-double flowers from late Autumn to Spring. The flowers fade a little as they mature, and are followed by small fruit that are attractive to birds. The foliage gives good Autumn colour, the leaves turning to red and gold before they fall.

Planting

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Cherries prefer deep, fertile and well-drained soil with pH 6.5-6.7. They dislike shallow, sandy or badly drained soils. Acid cherries tolerate some shade and are suitable as fan-trained trees against north-facing walls or fences, or as open centred bush trees. Best planted in full sunlight.
