Prunus padus – Bird cherry 1.75-2m tall
Prunus padus is a large, native, deciduous tree with an upright habit that becomes rounded with age. This tree has toothed, green leaves and hanging racemes of white flowers that emerge in the spring. These flowers are followed by small, black, bitter fruits in the summer, and in autumn, the green leaves turn to seasonal shades of yellow and bronze before falling. This fast-growing tree, often planted for its early spring colour and striking dark leaf, will reach a mature height of 10m which makes it a popular choice for larger gardens, parks, and woodland. Growing in all moist, well-draining soils in full sun to partial shade, Prunus padus is a versatile species that is capable of withstanding most situations including urban planting.
