Why we love it
Sargent’s cherry is one of the first cherries to colour in autumn, turning brilliant shades of orange and red.
Its spring blossom and glossy bark give it interest across the seasons.
How to use it
A wonderful feature tree for medium to large gardens.
Planting and aftercare
Plant between autumn and spring and water well through the first two summers. Prune cherries only in summer, in dry weather.
