Prunus 'Accolade' is an ornamental cherry renowned for its exceptionally early spring display. As winter fades, its arching branches become covered in clouds of soft pink, semi-double flowers, often appearing weeks before many other cherries begin to bloom. The open, spreading habit gives the tree a graceful outline that allows the blossom to be appreciated from all angles. After flowering, fresh green foliage develops, followed by warm autumn tones later in the year. Reliable, visually striking, and well suited to open planting, 'Accolade' is an outstanding choice for gardeners seeking early-season colour and long-lasting ornamental value.
