SPIRE ORNAMENTAL CHERRY


Spire Cherry is a narrow, upright, deciduous tree similar to the Columnar Sargent. Its crown is vase-shaped that becomes broader with age. It has dark pink buds that become showy single light pink flowers in spring. Emerging bronze leaves turn a showy orange and red in the fall.

The Spire Cherry enjoys full sun and thrives in moist, but well-drained soils with a neutral pH. Suitable for avenues, broad and narrow streets, cemeteries and rooftop gardens.

Planting Tips

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape.
