Prunus a. ‘Bigarreau Napoléon’

Are you seeking a spectacular focal point that delivers both summer sweetness and brilliant autumnal warmth to your garden space? Look no further than Prunus avium ‘Bigarreau Napoléon’, a rewarding cherry celebrated for its prolific fruiting capability when paired with the correct partner.

This magnificent specimen graces the garden first with abundant white blossoms in April and May, transitioning through summer to display large, sweet cherries that are pale yellow flushed richly with red, maturing around late July to early August; as the seasons turn, its green foliage provides a beautiful backdrop to striking orange and red tones in the autumn months, offering excellent support for wildlife in the garden as its flowers attract bees and its fruits feed the birds.

For optimal performance in the UK climate, ensure this tree is positioned in a sheltered spot receiving full sun, where it will develop its naturally bushy and upright habit, forming a broad, irregular crown, and it thrives best in moist, well-drained soils of virtually any pH, making it ideal for cottage-style gardens or as a superb solitary feature tree.
