Prunus x hillieri 'Spire' has a densely-branched, narrow, upright form with smaller leaves. Its green leaves turn red and orange in autumn, and it becomes a cloud of dainty, white to soft-pink blossoms in early-spring. It is great for narrow spaces and lining driveways, and it makes an excellent street tree. Prunus x hillieri is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and is a hybrid between Prunus incisa and Prunus sargentii. Prunus x hillieri 'Spire' was developed in the 1920s at Hillier Nurseries in Ampfield, United Kingdom and was introduced in 1956.

Foliage

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
