Prunus Accolade

(Flowering Cherry)

The incredible blooms of Prunus Accolade hail the beginning of spring at Deepdale Trees. This versatile hybrid cherry combines the early flowering of Prunus subhirtella with the bright pink blossom and good autumn colour of Prunus sargentii.

Accolade is one of the first cherries in bloom, bearing large clusters of pure pink semi-double flowers which fade to light pink. It also has a very attractive smooth reddish-brown bark, marked with horizontal lenticels. In autumn the fresh green leaves turn yellow-orange.

This plant is tolerant of most soils including calcareous ones, making it a good choice some problem areas.

Prunus Accolade is available from Deepdale Trees as a standard tree and multistem up to 8m high.
