Bird Cherry Hedging (Prunus padus)

Click here for a chart of species characteristics to help you choose

The Bird Cherry species is native to the UK. It's a wild cherry with fruits so bitter that only the birds will eat them - but they'll love them!
Bird Cherry can be trimmed to the same height as other species in a mixed native hedge or allowed to grow as a hedgerow tree.

It has beautiful highly fragrant white blossom in May and pretty mid sized green leaves. This is a very good species to add in to a selection of mixed native hedging. It is deciduous.

We have Bird Cherry as a bare root plant, available from November to early April (sometimes late March). We also have cell grown plants available all year round.


Don't forget to order RootGrow and/or Bonemeal.

New range of beautiful topiary now available.
