Cherry Plum

Prunus cerasifera

Cherry plum trees are among the first Prunus species to bloom in spring. Five-petalled flowers typically emerge before the leaves and can be white to pale pink in colour. The trees are broadleaved and deciduous, reaching heights of up to 8 metres. The green, glossy leaves measure between 3 to 7 cm long and have fine downy hairs on their underside.
