Sargent’s cherry suits large gardens, parks and landscape planting, in well-drained soil and full sun. We recommend it for its natural character, single pink blossom, excellent hardiness and especially its brilliant orange-red autumn colour. Its main limitation is size: the tree can exceed 12 metres and requires considerable space at maturity.

Sargent’s Cherry is an impressive ornamental cherry, with attractive pink blossom, good autumn leaf colours, and a pleasing form.
Sargent’s Cherry (Prunus sargentii) is a classic flowering cherry tree, at home in any situation. It forms a reasonably large tree with a graceful upright-spreading shape, and works equally well when planted as a lone specimen tree in smaller gardens or in a group in larger gardens.
Sargent’s Cherry makes a fine sight in early spring, clothed in a mass of large pink single flowers, contrasting with the emerging new leaves. Although ornamental cherry trees are usually chosen for their spring blossom, Sargent’s Cherry is equally impressive in the autumn, when the leaves turn an attractive golden red.
The tree is cold-hardy and a good choice for gardens in northern Europe.
