PRUNUS HILLIERI SPIRE
Grower Notes:
Spire Cherry is a narrow, upright, deciduous tree similar to the Columnar Sargent. Its crown is vase-shaped that becomes broader with age. It has dark pink buds that become showy single light pink flowers in spring. Emerging bronze leaves turn a showy orange and red in the fall.
The Spire Cherry enjoys full sun and thrives in moist, but well-drained soils with a neutral pH. Suitable for avenues, broad and narrow streets, cemeteries and rooftop gardens.
