Sargent’s Cherry – Prunus sargentii
Main interest
Sargent’s Cherry (Prunus sargentii) is a graceful ornamental cherry admired for its vivid pink spring blossoms, shiny mahogany bark, and brilliant scarlet autumn leaves.
It combines delicacy and strength, making it one of the most ornamental and hardy Japanese cherries.
In spring, it bursts into deep pink single flowers before the foliage appears, forming a breathtaking canopy of colour.
Origin and features
Native to Japan and Korea, Prunus sargentii was named after American botanist Charles S. Sargent.
It forms a broad, rounded crown, reaching 8–10 m tall and 6–8 m wide.
The shiny reddish-brown bark and bronze young leaves add interest beyond flowering.
In autumn, foliage turns fiery red and orange, making it one of the most stunning fall trees.
Position and care
Plant in full sun in moist, well-drained, fertile soil.
Tolerant of cold and wind but dislikes heavy, waterlogged ground.
Requires minimal pruning – just remove dead wood.
Generally disease-resistant and long-lived.
Garden use
Perfect as a standalone specimen, avenue tree, or focal point in large gardens and parks.
Its triple-season interest and natural elegance make it a designer favourite for landscape compositions.
Sargent’s Cherry (Prunus sargentii) is a resilient and elegant ornamental tree prized for its vibrant pink blooms and fiery autumn colour.
