Prunus ‘Royal Burgundy’ is a magnificent ornamental Japanese Flowering Cherry, supplied as an impressive XL approximately 6–7ft tall established tree in a substantial 7.5 litre pot. Renowned for its spectacular double pink blossom and rich purple foliage, this outstanding variety provides immediate height, structure and exceptional garden colour, making it a superb choice for instant gardening and creating a mature garden effect.
‘Royal Burgundy’ is particularly admired for its magnificent spring display of large, richly coloured double pink flowers, produced in generous clusters across the branches. The densely petalled blossom creates a beautiful cloud of pink, contrasting wonderfully with the emerging deep burgundy-purple leaves.
Unlike traditional green-leaved flowering cherries, ‘Royal Burgundy’ retains its striking dark purple to burgundy foliage throughout much of the growing season, providing exceptional ornamental interest long after flowering has finished. Its naturally upright, vase-shaped habit gradually develops into an attractive spreading canopy, making it an outstanding specimen tree.
At approximately 6–7ft tall when supplied, these established nursery trees offer considerably more immediate impact than smaller young trees. They are ideal as a feature tree for lawns, borders, front gardens, cottage gardens and contemporary planting schemes, where their colourful foliage and magnificent spring blossom can be fully appreciated.

Please note: Prunus ‘Royal Burgundy’ is deciduous, so trees naturally lose their foliage during autumn and winter and may arrive completely bare during the dormant season. Blossom is seasonal and cannot be guaranteed at the time of dispatch. Foliage colour, height, branching, shape and fullness will naturally vary between individual trees and according to the time of year. Plants are carefully selected before dispatch to provide strong, established XL approximately 6–7ft trees ready to create immediate garden impact.
