Prunus x subhirtella ‘Autumnalis’ – Winter Flowering Cherry

Prunus x subirtella ‘Autumnalis’, the Winter Flowering Cherry, is a deciduous tree particularly valued for its ability to flower intermittently from November to March.  Its delicate semi-double white flowers, occasionally flushed with pink, appear magically on bare branches during winter and early spring, giving a splash of colour during a potentially dreary season.  Its height and spread of 4 x 4 metres make it a valuable tree for a smaller space and its graceful form and early blooming make it a favourite among gardeners looking to extend the beauty of cherry blossoms beyond the traditional spring season.
