Prunus 'Kursar' is an early-flowering ornamental cherry valued for its intense spring colour and dependable performance. As winter recedes, the bare branches become lined with richly coloured cerise-pink flowers, often opening well before many other flowering trees come into bloom. The uncluttered framework allows the blossom to stand out clearly, creating a strong seasonal focal point. After flowering, fresh green foliage develops to form a balanced canopy, later taking on warm autumn shades. With its early timing, controlled size, and striking colour, 'Kursar' is an excellent choice for gardens where an early and dramatic start to spring is especially prized.
