Wild Cherry Tree (Prunus Avium)

SPECIAL OFFER The Wild Cherry tree's (Prunus Avium) fruits are bright red to dark purple in colour. The white blossom of our native cherries has brightened Britain's hedgerows and woodlands for millennia. The blossom has an unforgettable display in spring. The flowers fragrance and sweet nectar attract insects to the tree to pollinate it therefore assisting our bee population. If the bark is damaged, it exudes gum which seals the wound to protect it from infection. The bark is shinning and peels horizontally. The toothed, hairy leaves are up to 5 cm long. The pure white flowers are 2.5cm across, produced in clusters, with five petals. The round, blackish red fruit are either sweet or bitter. Wild Cherry (Prunus Avium) is a deciduous tree that can grow up to 12m high or more. It can take up to 50 years to reach its full height. Its trunk can be over 75cm in diameter, in conclusion and large, strong tree, with lots of benefits for the environment. Pruning of established cherry trees should be done in mid summer. Any unsightly branches growing at odd angles can be pruned out and lower branches taken off altogether to leave a good strong trunk. Bare root stock available Oct-April or PRE ORDER NOW and reserve.
