Prunus x cisterna grows with an upright but bushy habit, making it a really good choice for hedging in low maintenance gardens. Slow-growing, it is suited as specimen shrub in larger patio pots too where the pale pink blooms will suck up attention in spring. Flowers are fragrant and its scent will waft through gardens, before the black-purple fruits take over in July. Red foliage becomes red-purple as summer progresses, turning bronze in autumn, making Prunus x cisterna a real seasonal treat to keep your eye on. Height and spread: 1.5m (5').
