Prunus sargentii 'Charles Sargent' is a good selection derived from the species, with a broad fan-shaped to rounded crown and a height of 8 - 10 m. The bark is a glossy chestnut brown. The young leaves are bronze coloured but later turn green. The autumnal colour is a remarkable orange-red. The tree flowers in early April, before the emergence of the leaves, producing light pink flowers that hardly lose their colour during the flowering period of almost 3 weeks. They are followed by a few small dark red fruits. Winter hardiness zone: 5b
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
