Prunus triloba

A small deciduous cherry that should be pruned into a shrub even though it is small tree. It is pruned hard right back to a frame work every year after flowering, over the year it grows back to a medium sized shrub. Then in April it blasts into life, with masses of vivid pink flowers, making an epic display. We love this, and is not commonly in a typical garden, making it special.
