Prunus Serrula Tibetica, Tibetan Cherry (click the link for cheaper bare root Prunus Serrula Tibetan Cherry tree)
The Tibetan Cherry Tree (Prunus Serrula) is easily recognised for its polished mahogany coloured bark. This bark falls off in strips as the tree ages. One of our best-selling ornamental trees, this tree is a magnificent point of interest in a garden, particularly during winter. The bark maintains its colour and shine, almost as if it has been polished throughout the year. This tree produces, small, white flowers which are almost totally hidden by willow-type leaves in spring, immediately followed by small, cherry fruits. Expect the tree to be at around 4m high at 10 years old so this would be considered a small tree.

See What Our Customers Are Saying About Prunus Serrula
Hi, Sorry for the delay in response. Our tree arrived safe and well. We are really happy with its form, it is now a lovely centrepiece to our small garden. It has also survived a very stormy night with just a few wind-scorched leaves. Thank you Joanne 0618
Received 2 x prunus serrula last week from you and we love them - thanks! Best wishes, Leigh 0917
Ornamental Tree Roots In The Shade e.g. Behind A Fence
It is more important that that foliage (posh term for leaves) receives the sunlight than the roots. So if the canopy of your ornamental tree can sunbathe but the bottom of your tree thinks there has been a nuclear winter then that is ok. You might want to ensure you have good drainage as water and no sun is the start of algae and other such issues.

Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. If the corner is of the house and a fence then you also have leeching issues to contend with from cement and wood preservatives. Also when it rains, that area would experience higher water levels so we advise against it unless the plant is very hardy.
