The red-brown wood of the Wild Cherry or Gean as it is known in Scotland is used in cabinet making and for musical instruments and pipes. As its own fruits tend to be bitter, it is one of the parents of most european cultivated cherries. It is one of the most attractive of our native, woodland trees, in time this becomes a medium to large tree with a broadly rounded form. Its white flowers in spring are followed by foliage which commonly exhibits good autumn colouring of red and gold.
Our Wild Cherry or Gean or Mazzard trees are supplied at a height of between 150 - 200cm a 7-12 litre container for year round planting and better results than from either bare-root or root-balled stock.
A medium sized tree, so expect a height of up to 6 metres (20 foot) after 10 years.

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.
Fruit On Ornamental Cherry Trees
If any fruits are formed, they will be small, inedible and barely noticeable.
