Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera Myrobalana) Pack of 15 Cell Grown

Product Code:  PRMY15

From Only: £21.99 Ex VAT


The RHS Premium Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera Myrobalana) 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 Cherry Plum 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.

Complete Product Information for Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera Myrobalana) Pack of 15 Cell Grown
This RHS Premium Cell Grown Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera Myrobalana) is a distinctive tree which is grown for its dark red foliage and edible fruit. In the spring clouds of pink flowers will appear and are followed by edible red fruits which can grow about 1 inch. They will tolerate any soil and will need full sun.

It forms a great dense hedge with thorny and twiggy plants creating a great intruder proof hedge.

The leaves are about 1-2 inches long and dark green. They are semi-double fragrant flowers they are pink-red and bloom in late winter, early spring. The leaves are reddish purple in spring and will turn greenish bronze in the summer.

The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the tiny fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that they will become more established quicker than bare root. They can also be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. Whereas the bare root season ends between April to September, September, October, March April and May are ideal months for planting cell grown plants. In fact, unlike bare root, you can plant cell grown plants throughout the year as long as the roots are kept moist. That is why 60% of the world`s forestry trees are now cell grown!
