Cherry, Tibetan

Description

Bushy, round-headed deciduous tree with magnificent bark and stems which are shining copper-brown with peeling circles. Narrow, pendulus, mid-green leaves which turn yellow in autumn contrast well against the coppery bark and stems. The outstanding bark and stems make this tree spectacular all year round. In spring, the tree bears clusters of bowl-shaped white flowers 2.5cm (3 to 4 inches) across followed in autumn by small, oval, bright red fruits. Plant in full sun to illuminate the bark.
