Winter Flowering Cherry 'Autumnalis'

Prunus Subhirtella 'Autumnalis' is a small deciduous tree that bears pink buds from which semi-double white flowers, sometimes tinged with pink, emerge intermittently from late Autumn to early Spring, followed by small fruit that are attractive to birds. The foliage gives good Autumn colour as the leaves turn yellow, orange and red 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.
