I see so many different names for cherry trees. When i google Bird Cherry Tree or Flowering Cherry Tree i get the same images. Will all cherry trees look like this in Autumn?

Most…i cant think of a cherry that keeps its leaves..looks pretty dont you think
Some ornamental cherry trees might lose their leaves in summer

Think they look lovely in autumn and great for nature in the summer. Just need to find a dwarf version and just makes sure that it looks like this in autumn.

I’m sure it’ll twig soon or somebody on here will find the root to the problem.

Alright alright I’ll leaf this thread alone.

I have spent about 3 hrs trying to identify what this tree is. I think i have narrowed it down to a cherry tree however there are so many different types and i specifically want this one for it's amazing autumn colour.

I am desperate to buy one in a dwarf version if anyone knows the tree and where to buy it... i have a limit of about 4 meters in height.

NSC has never let me down yet :)

The owner won't be happy.

When do you plan digging it up?

It is without doubt a flowering Cherry (Prunus) as others have already rightly posted.
There is a dwarf Cherry I could highly recommend - Prunus Kursar.

My friend has one in her garden and it is a lovely small tree, currently in full flower and has the wonderful autumn colour later.

I'm no expert* but I'd bet my arborist reputation** that what you have there is what is commonly known as a flowering cherry tree.




*I barely know the name of any trees. Oak, weeping willow, Birch? Beech? Ash?

**By my reputation I mean those of all the people above me who are saying it's a flowering cherry. I've never heard of it.

For those interested, I would recommend an app from the Woodland Trust called "Tree ID - British Trees". Its really great if you're out on a walk and want to work out what type of tree something is.

Do these trees also produce fruit, and if not what's the best variety of fruiting cherry tree (that also looks nice)?

The traditional ornamental flowering cherry trees are bred for their flowers. Some produce little fruits but they're only any good for the birds.
If you want a cherry tree that produces edible cherries, you need to buy a variety bred for its fruit.

They will all look good in the Spring when they produce their flowers.
