Prunus Avium

Wild Cherry awakens in spring with new leaves and flowers appearing simultaneously. The long-lasting flowers appear from red buds and are held in long drooping clusters, like cotton wool.

The leaves are bright green, oval and tooth-edged. The cherries have less flesh and are more bitter than the cultivated species, but have the same dark red colour from July and will be quickly stripped from the tree by birds. The Autumn colour of the leaves is spectacular. The tree has a neat and tidy shape with a straight trunk (with smooth red brown bark) and a rounded crown.

Wild Cherry is successful in light shade but fruits better in a sunny position and it does well in most soils and situations other than exposed sites (where the flowers would blow off) and waterlogged soils.

Wild Cherry can be grown as a tree or a hedge. As it is a UK native hedging species it can also be found in our Mixed Native hedging selection. See our full range of Mixed Native Hedging Packs for more information.
