Prunus ‘Accolade’
Flowering Cherry
The incredible blooms of Prunus Accolade hail the beginning
of spring at Deepdale Trees.
This versatile hybrid cherry
combines the early flowering of Prunus subhirtella with the
bright pink blossom and good autumn colour of Prunus
sargentii.
Accolade is one of the first cherries in bloom, bearing large
clusters of pure pink semi-double flowers which fade to light
pink. It also has a very attractive smooth reddish-brown bark,
marked with horizontal lenticels. In autumn the fresh green
leaves turn yellow-orange.
This plant is tolerant of most soils including calcareous ones,
making it a good choice some problem areas.
