Prunus autumnalis – Winter Flowering Cherry

Prunus autumnalis, commonly known as the autumn flowering cherry, is a deciduous tree renowned for its delicate beauty and unique blooming habits. It typically reaches a height of about 5 to 8 meters (16 to 26 feet). This cherry tree is particularly valued for its ability to flower during late autumn and winter, adding a splash of color to otherwise dreary seasons with its small, pale pink blossoms that cover the bare branches. Its graceful form and early blooming make it a favorite among gardeners looking to extend the beauty of cherry blossoms beyond the traditional spring season.
