Wild Cherry – Prunus avium (Mature)

Description

Wild Cherry, Prunus avium, is a lovely ornamental tree. It can be planted in various scenarios. The Spring blossom is outstanding which produces dark red cherries most seasons. The dark green leaves create shade during summer months which then turn into attractive autumn colours. So, a single Wild Cherry can take a central role in any sized garden. It can also be planted as a group in, say, threes or fives to create a very special area for seating. It also enhances garden hedge rows by planting along the inside of a hedge. The trunk of the tree is also attractive during the winter period.

Wild Cherry does like most types of soil but not wet areas.
