Prunus ‘the bride’ specimen multistem

Description

Prunus ‘The Bride’ is a charming, small, deciduous tree that offers year-round interest. In early to mid-spring, it produces an abundance of  pure white, single flowers adorned with bright red anthers, emerging from pink buds. These flat, open blooms create a stunning display along the bare branches. As the flowers fade, mid-green leaves emerge. In autumn, the foliage gives a stunning display of reds and oranges. Even in winter, the tree’s silhouette and exfoliating bark add interest.

This versatile tree is perfect for use as a specimen plant in lawns, mixed borders, or large containers. It thrives in full sun and prefers moist, relatively fertile, well-drained soils. Prunus ‘The Bride’ is relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning—mainly to remove dead or damaged branches which can be done in mid Summer. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, and a general purpose fertiliser such as a granular seaweed can be applied in early spring to support healthy growth. This tree is also resistant to many common pests and diseases, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a beautiful and resilient addition to their garden
