Prunus ‘The Bride’ is a graceful, compact flowering cherry that brings a cloud of pure white blossom to the garden in early spring. Masses of single flowers open on bare branches, creating a soft, elegant display that is especially striking against darker backdrops. Fresh green foliage follows, forming a neat, rounded canopy that provides gentle structure through the summer months. Ideal for smaller gardens or as a specimen tree, it thrives in moist but well-drained soil and a sunny position. Prunus ‘The Bride’ is a refined, low-maintenance choice, offering reliable spring interest and year-round garden appeal. Height 4-8m. https://www.thebigplantnursery.com/shop/multistem-trees/prunus-incisa-the-bride/ #thebride #prunusincisathebride #ornamentalcherry #multistemtrees #peakprunus
