Description
Prunus serrula, commonly known as the Tibetan Cherry, is a highly ornamental deciduous tree prized for its exceptional polished mahogany-brown bark. The smooth, glossy bark peels gently to reveal rich copper and chestnut tones, creating striking year-round interest, particularly in winter.
In spring, small white flowers appear among fresh green foliage, followed by attractive leaves that turn warm shades of yellow and orange in autumn. With its elegant upright form and distinctive bark, Prunus serrula makes an outstanding specimen tree for gardens, courtyards, and landscape planting.
Hardy and reliable, it thrives in a wide range of soil types and is particularly valued for winter structure and ornamental appeal.
Supplied as a standard tree with 12–14cm girth in a 45-litre pot, approximately 3–3.5m in height, this is a well-established specimen ready to create immediate impact.
