Goldspur amur cherry: This new tree puts on a show all year long, but truly shines in spring.

摘要

The Amur cherry is alsoknown as the Manchurian cherry, and both common names indicate its native range. Goldspur (Prunus maackii 'Jefspur') is a dwarf variety that matures at just five metres tall by three metres wide, making it ideal for smaller gardens or as a compact, upright specimen tree in foundation plantings and herbaceous borders. In late spring, racemes of up to 22 creamy white flowers are followed by red berries that ripen to shiny black in late summer, while its handsome exfoliating golden bronze bark renders it a winter focal point.
