Accolade Flowering Cherry

Experience the ethereal beauty of spring with the Accolade Flowering Cherry (Prunus 'Accolade'). This award-winning hybrid is celebrated for being one of the earliest cherries to bloom, signaling the end of winter with a breathtaking display of large, semi-double, shell-pink flowers. These pendulous clusters hang gracefully from the branches, creating a soft, romantic canopy before the leaves even appear.

As the floral show concludes, lush, dark green foliage emerges, providing excellent shade throughout the summer months. In the autumn, the leaves transform into a vibrant palette of glowing orange and golden-yellow. With its elegant, spreading, and slightly pendulous habit, the Accolade Cherry serves as a magnificent focal point for medium-to-large gardens. It is notably more vigorous and cold-hardy than many other flowering cherries, showing good resistance to common pests and diseases. This low-maintenance ornamental tree offers multi-season interest and a timeless, sophisticated charm to any landscape.
