Prunus serrulata 'Royal Burgundy' is an ornamental cherry distinguished by its rich, dark foliage and contrasting spring flowers. In mid to late spring, clusters of double pink blooms appear against newly emerged burgundy-purple leaves, creating a dramatic and refined display. Unlike many flowering cherries, the foliage retains its deep colouring throughout the growing season, giving the tree lasting visual impact long after flowering has finished. With its balanced structure and bold colour combination, 'Royal Burgundy' is an excellent choice for gardens where strong contrast, seasonal interest, and elegant form are key design elements.
