Prunus serrula (Tibetan Cherry) is a truly striking small deciduous tree, celebrated for its polished, mahogany-red bark that peels in thin, glossy sheets, providing exceptional winter interest. Its narrow, willow-like green leaves turn golden in autumn, and small white spring flowers add seasonal charm. Ideal as a specimen tree, or in groups for bark contrast, it brings elegance and texture to both contemporary and naturalistic gardens.
Prefers full sun and well-drained soil, with minimal pruning required to maintain its beautiful form.
