Awarded an RHS Award of Garden Merit; 'Royal burgundy' really is an outstanding Cherry! Deep-purple leaves can be enjoyed throughout spring and summer, providing a striking point of interest and great specimen tree or backdrop/canopy to lighter planting. A mass of candyfloss-pink flowers emerge in clusters during spring and look stunning against the foliage. Leaves turn bright oranges and reds in autumn, before falling. Also; peeling, copper coloured bark provides interest during winter. This Cherry will grow up to a height of 5m and a spread of 3m. Give this Cherry a full-sun spot to enjoy its maximum potential. Will tolerate most conditions apart from very wet or shallow, chalky soil.
