Prunus ‘Royal Burgundy’

Prunus ‘Royal Burgundy’, commonly known as Royal Burgundy Cherry, is a vigorous deciduous ornamental tree valued for its rich burgundy foliage and masses of double pink flowers. It is an excellent choice for lawns, larger gardens, mixed borders and specimen planting.

The tree produces striking deep red young leaves, which mature to rich burgundy shades and provide dramatic colour throughout spring and summer. In autumn, the foliage develops vibrant orange and scarlet tones, extending the tree’s seasonal interest.

In spring, clusters of beautiful double pink flowers appear amongst the dark foliage, creating a striking contrast. The blossom also provides an early source of nectar for bees and other pollinating insects.

Its vigorous growth and colourful foliage make ‘Royal Burgundy’ particularly effective as a feature or specimen tree, where its rich leaf colour can provide a strong focal point in the garden.

Plant in full sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil. With its combination of burgundy foliage, double pink blossom and vivid autumn colour, Prunus ‘Royal Burgundy’ provides striking interest across several seasons.
