The dark-green foliage of 'Autumnalis' offers a striking contrast to its delicate flowers, turning vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and red in autumn before falling. This seasonal transformation adds another layer of visual interest, making it a valuable plant for year-round appeal. The tree’s compact size, reaching only 4 x 4 metres in 20 years, makes it an ideal choice for confined spaces, whether in urban gardens or smaller country plots.

Prunus x subhirtella 'Autumnalis' is well-suited to various growing conditions. It thrives in most soils that are not waterlogged and shows good tolerance to pollution, making it an excellent option for urban environments.

Whether appreciated for its ornamental value, its winter blooms, or its attraction to birds, 'Autumnalis' is a versatile and captivating addition to any landscape.
