Prunus serrula is valued for its glistening, polished, red-brown, and mahogany-like peeling bark. It produces long, narrow, serrated, green leaves that appear with the single, white blossoms in mid-spring. The autumn foliage is stunning, with yellow leaves that add a bright splash of color. In the winter, the bare branches have a glow when illuminated by the sun. It forms an upright shape, is deciduous and native to China. Learn more.
