Charming in all seasons, Sargent’s Cherry is a small, deciduous tree with many ornamental qualities. In spring, this tree shows off its clusters of lovely, pink to deep pink, single flowers before its leaves appear. A graceful ornamental tree with upright-spreading to rounded habit, which exhibits greater staying power than most Prunus.

– It grows single pink flowers on 1-in pedicels, which result in purple-black fruit in summer.
– The fruit is a favorite of birds, but because of their size (small, pea sized) and color, are considered inconspicuous to humans.
