Plant Description

Prunus padus, often called bird cherry, brings a soft woodland charm to any landscape. This elegant small tree forms a rounded crown with gently arching branches. In spring, it bursts into cascades of pure white flower clusters that hang like delicate tassels. The blossoms release a light, sweet fragrance that drifts through the garden air and attracts pollinators.

The leaves of Prunus padus emerge in a fresh bright green, finely serrated and slightly glossy. They create a soft, layered canopy that filters sunlight beautifully. As seasons change, the foliage shifts to warm yellow tones, adding autumn interest. After flowering, small shiny black fruits appear in pendant chains, offering strong visual contrast and feeding birds.

  • Produces long, fragrant white flower racemes in spring.

  • Develops decorative black berries loved by wildlife.

  • Shows vibrant yellow foliage during autumn months.

  • Forms a graceful, rounded crown with arching branches.

Therefore, Prunus padus suits naturalistic gardens, woodland borders, and spacious parks. Its textured bark appears dark brown and slightly fissured, adding winter character. The tree grows with steady vigor yet keeps a refined silhouette. Finally, its seasonal transformation from blossom to berry ensures year-round ornamental value and ecological interest.
