Prunus avium 'Plena' Cottage The leavesDeciduous. One of the most picturesque of all flowering trees with masses of double white flowers appearing with the leaves in late spring. A broad headed tree with bronze leaves when young, turning green in summer then red in autumn. The cultivar 'Plena' is sterile and does not produce fruit, making it very suitable for car parks and avenues. Tolerates heavy clay soils. Very hardy. 9m in 20 years. Deep rooting.
