It is often planted in prominent positions where its bark can be admired, such as near pathways or in winter gardens.
• White Blossoms in Spring: In early to mid-spring (April to May), Prunus ‘Royal Flame’ produces small, delicate white flowers. While not as showy as some ornamental cherry varieties, the flowers are still attractive and provide a fresh springtime display. They emerge in clusters before or alongside the young foliage.
• Pollinator-Friendly: The flowers attract bees and other pollinators, making this tree a beneficial addition to a wildlife-friendly garden. The early blooms provide a valuable nectar source in spring.
• Lush Green Leaves: The tree’s leaves are long and lance-shaped, emerging with a bronze tint in spring and maturing to a glossy green in summer. The foliage forms a soft, elegant canopy, complementing the tree’s ornamental bark.
• Golden Autumn Color: In autumn, the leaves turn a bright golden-yellow, adding seasonal interest before they fall. The golden foliage contrasts beautifully with the tree’s striking bark, creating a visually appealing display.
