Sargent CherryPrunus sargentii
Called the “crème de la crème” of flowering cherries, the Sargent cherry offers year-round beauty. Pink blooms adorn the tree in late spring, the leaves unfurl with a purplish or bronze hue that transitions to a shiny dark green into summer, and then red, orange and bronze in the fall; and the winter landscape benefits from its attractive bark.
This faster-growing landscape tree stands out as a specimen in a lawn or landscape bed, but it can also work well along the entry to a subdivision, for commercial landscape in 20' centers, or in the tree lawn space between curb and sidewalk.
