Description

Purple Leaf Cherry Blossom Tree | Prunus serrulata ‘Royal Burgundy’

• All the gorgeous blossom and warm autumn colour of a regular flowering cherry tree, but with purple leaves…
• Royal Burgundy is a more compact sport (mutation) of a Kanzan cherry blossom with wine-dark purple leaves that emerge in spring with the flowers, which last for 5-10 days. These are double, rose coloured and ruffled, creating the effect of a fluffy pink canopy!
• You’ll get the best flowers by planting Royal Burgundy in full sun – we also recommend showing it off against a light coloured background
• In autumn the leaves turn to warm scarlet and orange tones and the shimmering copper coloured bark stands out in the winter landscape
• Suitable for small gardens, Royal Burgundy grows to a compact 5x4m within 20 years
• This undemanding tree is happy in any moist, well drained soil except for chalk
• Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
• Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
• Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
