Prunus avium (Wild Cherry) - Bareroot

Prunus avium, commonly known as wild cherry or sweet cherry, is a striking deciduous tree renowned for its seasonal beauty and ecological importance. In spring, it bursts into life with an abundance of delicate, white blossoms that provide a valuable nectar source for bees and other pollinators. These blooms give way to small, sweet cherries in early summer, which are a favorite of birds and mammals. In autumn, the tree's foliage transforms into a spectacular display of fiery reds and oranges, adding vibrant colour to the landscape. Thriving in well-drained soils and sunny locations, wild cherry is an excellent choice for woodland edges, hedgerows, or as a standalone ornamental feature. Its rapid growth and ecological benefits make it a beloved species in both traditional and modern gardens. Please see our GUIDE TO PLANTING HEDGES for more info.
