Japanese Cherry with red leaves 'Royal Burgundy'

Prunus serrulata 'Royal Burgundy', Japanese Cherry with red leaves

The Japanese ornamental cherry Royal Burgundy is a striking hybrid variety that combines a spectacular spring bloom with deep red to burgundy foliage throughout the season. It is closely related to the popular “Kanzan” variety but stands out with its dark, декоративe leaves.

In spring, the tree is covered with double, bright pink flowers arranged in dense clusters, creating a rich and lush visual display. After flowering, glossy dark red to purple leaves emerge, maintaining their color through summer and adding contrast and depth to any garden.

The tree reaches a height of approximately 5–7 meters and develops a well-balanced, spreading crown. It prefers sunny locations, where its colors become most intense, as well as well-drained soil. It is suitable both as a standalone focal point and for decorative group plantings or avenues.

“Royal Burgundy” is an excellent choice for those seeking a more distinctive ornamental tree that combines abundant flowering with long-lasting colorful foliage.

This is a new hybrid variety with red leaves during the whole growing season.

No wonder, why in Japan they write poetry about these trees. Their flowers are so gentle and beautiful, that whoever seen them live, will never forget.
