Cultivars and varieties:

Prunus 'Jacqueline' [AGM] - Large (4cm wide), soft pink flowers in spring. Dark green leaves through summer, turning orange and red in the autumn. One of the best flowering cherries and only growing up to 4m, it's a good tree for a small garden.

Prunus 'Merton Glory'

Prunus 'Mount Fuji' - Dark green leaves, semi-double white flowers in mid spring grows to 6m (20ft) so ideal for a small garden.
