Bird Cherry (Prunus padus) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 20-40cm

Product Code:  PRPA12
Currently unavailable - new stock in Autumn 2012

From Only: £18.39 Ex VAT
Or £1.53 Per plant


Our RHS Bird Cherry (Prunus padus) cell grown plants are extracted from their cells prior to despatch and are wrapped in protective packaging to ensure the root plug stays moist. The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that cell grown plants can become more quickly established than bare root. Another advantage of cell grown Bird Cherry is that it can be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. As long as the roots are kept moist, cell grown plants can be planted throughout the year.

With pea-sized black cherries which ripen in mid-summer. As with most cherries, the foliage turns yellow in autumn.

Prunus Padus is adaptable to a wide range of soils, in particular well drained soils in full sun to part shade.

This plant needs little regular pruning in summer to reduce the risk of bacterial canker, however to renoate old plants, remove the oldest stems at the base and cut back all branches to healthy young shoots in the late winter.
