Prunus ‘Accolade’ Tree – Early Flowering Ornamental Cherry

Prunus ‘Accolade’ is a highly regarded ornamental cherry tree, famous for its early spring display of semi-double, shell-pink blossoms that cover the branches in March and April. These flowers emerge before the fresh green foliage, creating a striking seasonal highlight. In autumn, the foliage turns vibrant orange and red, extending its ornamental value well beyond spring. Its broad, spreading crown makes it a superb specimen tree for gardens of all sizes.

Season: Semi-double pink blossom in spring; fresh green summer foliage; fiery red-orange tones in autumn; deciduous in winter

Care: Prefers full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Minimal pruning required, except to maintain shape. Avoid waterlogged sites.

Unique Selling Points: Prolific early pink blossom, RHS Award of Garden Merit, long seasonal interest, excellent specimen tree for smaller gardens.

History: A hybrid cherry introduced in the UK in the 1950s; awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit for outstanding garden performance.

Mature Size (after 10 years): Approx. 4–5 m height × 4 m spread
