Bare Root | 5–6ft Tall | By Direct Plants
Charming, winter- and early-spring flowering, Prunus ‘Autumnalis Rosea’ is supplied as a premium bare root flowering cherry tree at 5–6ft tall by Direct Plants. Carefully grown and selected at our award-winning family nursery in Norfolk, this ornamental variety is admired for its delicate pale pink to rose blossoms that appear over an extended season, providing colour when most other trees are dormant.
With its graceful, arching branches and compact, upright habit, ‘Autumnalis Rosea’ is ideal for feature planting, garden borders, or small ornamental schemes where winter and spring interest are desired.
(Prunus ‘Autumnalis Rosea’ – Ornamental, approx. 15–20ft / 4.5–6m at maturity)
Flowers appear from late autumn through early spring, often covering the bare branches in soft pink blooms during mild weather.
The tree’s delicate flowers create a light, airy display against emerging green foliage.
As spring progresses, fresh green leaves develop, adding seasonal texture and structure.
The tree grows into a compact, spreading crown with gently arching branches, offering interest without dominating its surroundings.
Fully hardy and adaptable, this variety thrives in most soil types and performs best in a sunny or lightly sheltered position. It is perfectly suited to planting directly into the ground to allow it to develop its natural ornamental character.
