90/120cm Bare Root Bird Cherry
(Prunus padus)

Bird Cherry is the ideal plant for any sort of occasion, as it loves to be planted both on its own as a little hedge, or even as a tree. It can provide year-round interest with its smell, style, and shades of green, white, and golden yellow.

However, please don't forget that bare root plants must be planted as soon as possible after arriving on your doorstep. You cannot leave your Bird Cherry Bare Root plants for any longer than a couple of days.

90/120cm bare root Bird Cherry will grow up to 4m high, with its average growth rate of 20-40cm per year.

• Growth rate: Average (20-40cm per year)
• Ideal height: 4m+ Tall
• Soil type: Normal

As soon as your Bird Cherry Bare Root plant arrives, place it into a bucket of water for at least 2 hours. The roots must be wet before planting. Ensure you water the plant hole before planting and continue to water the Bird Cherry during its development.

In terms of care and maintenance, your Bird Cherry plant can be left to grow naturally on its own accord- most gardeners prefer to do this. However, if you would rather give it a bit of a tidy-up, just carry out a light prune during Summer (after fruiting and flowering has finished). Ensure you remove any broken/dead/diseased/crossing branches, too. Do not prune at the wrong time of the year as this will lead to the plant being open to diseases.
