Description:

Probably the hardiest pink-flowering cherry tree, with a stunning display of pink flowers in early spring before the leaves; its upright vase habit, ornamental glossy reddish-brown bark, and good fall color make this a great accent tree on the landscape

Ornamental Features

Spring Wonder™ Sargent Cherry is draped in stunning clusters of fragrant pink flowers along the branches in early spring, which emerge from distinctive rose flower buds before the leaves. It has attractive dark green deciduous foliage which emerges purple in spring. The glossy oval leaves are highly ornamental and turn an outstanding brick red in the fall. The fruits are showy black drupes displayed in mid summer. The smooth brick red bark adds an interesting dimension to the landscape.

Spring Wonder™ Sargent Cherry is a deciduous tree with a more or less rounded form. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.

This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. It is a good choice for attracting birds to your yard. It has no significant negative characteristics.
