Prunus 'The Bride' – Prunus 'The Bride'

View prices and availability
Small to medium-size tree, initially with quite narrow crown, but quickly broad vase-shaped. Later the branches overhang somewhat which may create a flat-topped, spherical crown. The leaf is narrow ovate to elongated and has a long pointed tip. It emerges as bronze-green and turns fresh green in summer. In autumn it displays various colours: orange, red and purple before falling. The flower buds are pink. Before the leaf emerges the tree blossoms very abundantly with large, single, white flowers with striking pink stamens. They may be followed by dark red, round to slightly oval fruits. ‘The Bride’ was found as a seedling of P. ‘Pandora’ by Harry van Trier. A good alternative to P. x yedoensis, which grows significantly larger. Does not tolerate permanently high water table.
