Prunus × Blierana

With its vase-shaped form adorned in puffy pink blooms, Prunus × blireana puts on a spectacular spring floral display. This small ornamental cherry tree unveils abundant clusters of large, semi-double light pink flowers that emit a delicate, sweet fragrance at the same time the emerging purple-bronze foliage unfurls, providing a striking contrast. The metallic-hued developing leaves mature to a deep green over the summer. Despite its ultimate small size, this compact Japanese cherry would make for a long season interest, ornamental focal point, perfect for small gardens.
