Bare Root | 5–6ft Tall | By Direct Plants
Charming and elegant, winter- and early-spring flowering, Prunus ‘Autumnalis White’ 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 pure white blossoms that appear over an extended season, bringing brightness and interest when most other trees remain dormant.
With its graceful, arching branches and compact, upright habit, ‘Autumnalis White’ is ideal for feature planting, garden borders, or small ornamental schemes where refined winter and spring interest is desired.
(Prunus ‘Autumnalis White’ – Ornamental, approx. 15–20ft / 4.5–6m at maturity)
Flowers appear from late autumn through early spring, often covering the bare branches in crisp white blooms during mild spells.
The tree’s delicate white flowers create a light, luminous display against the winter landscape and emerging spring foliage.
As spring progresses, fresh green leaves develop, adding seasonal texture and gentle structure.
The tree matures into a compact, spreading crown with softly arching branches, providing ornamental interest without overwhelming 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.
