Description
For many years Prunus cerasifera 'Nigra' has been a popular variety for planting in urban towns and cities due to its tolerance to pollution. It makes a particularly colourful specimen tree that creates a showy centrepiece for a large garden. This is is one of the first Cherries to flower in the spring. Single, pink-blushed flowers bloom along the bare shoots from mid spring. The flowers fade to white as the leaves begin to emerge, contrasting beautifully with the purple-black twigs. The foliage is bronzed initially, colouring to a deep purple through the summer, followed by an autumn extravaganza of red and orange. small, red, plum-shaped fruits may set in some seasons, adding further seasonal interest. Black Cherry Plum forms a striking, rounded tree with maturity, thriving in most soils. Height and spread: 10m (33').

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow

Plant cherry trees in any well drained soil in a sheltered, sunny position. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the planting hole and drive the stake into the ground to support the tree. Staking after planting may result in damage to the root ball. Plant ornamental cherry trees at their original soil level and firm them into the ground. Fasten the tree to the stake using a tree tie, and water well.

More Info

Ornamental cherry trees do not suffer weed competition well. Keep weeds and grass clear from within a 30cm radius of base of the tree. In spring, while the ground is moist, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost around the base of the tree, taking care not to mound it up against the stem. This will help to retain moisture throughout the summer.
