Prunus Sunset Boulevard — 12L Container

Prunus 'Sunset Boulevard' is a narrow, conical cherry discovered at Kalmthout Arboretum in Belgium. In May it bears single white flowers with pink centres, and the coppery young leaves turn green, then yellow-orange in autumn. Its slim shape suits small gardens and streets, and it holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

It grows to around 5m x 2m after 10 years. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil; it tolerates most soils, including chalk and clay. Little pruning is needed, but any that is required should be done in summer, when the risk of silver leaf is lowest.

Each tree is hand-selected before dispatch.
