We're almost positive the saying "pretty in pink" comes from someone marveling at the beauty that is the Royal Burgundy Flowering Cherry tree (Prunus serrulata 'Royal Burgundy'). Picking just one feature of the Royal Burgundy Flowering Cherry to label as the most striking is next to impossible! How is one supposed to pick between the glowing pink cherry blossoms that sprout in the spring and the deep burgundy shade of the leaves that blanket the tree's limbs?
Grown for its coloring and wonderful double-flowers, more so than its fruit, this tree's character is sure to stand out in anyone's garden and bring a splash of intensity to landscapes.
We would be remiss if we talked about the wonderful aspects of the Royal Burgundy Flowering Cherry tree without mentioning its absolutely stunning scent! Each blossom emits a fragrance that rivals any store-bought perfume. For those lucky enough to have a Royal Burgundy in the springtime, snipping a few flowers off the tree and bringing them inside is the perfect way to make the house smell of fresh cherry blossoms!
An Ornamental Cherry that is not sterile, but may occasionally produce a few or sporadic fruits that are unpalatable, but the birds will gladly take them!
Landscape Application:
Luckily, planting one of these trees in your yard ensures you don't have to pick just one feature, you get them all! Friends and strangers alike will want to know what tree you have in your front yard that creates such a magnificent contrast! The deep red-purple of the leaves next to the classic luscious green of other trees is a sight to behold for sure!
The dark leaves and bright blooms make it a much sought-after plant in urban landscapes and have become a staple in urban environments and cities such as Washington DC.

Butterflies and hummingbirds will come from near and far for a chance to snack on the nectar of a Royal Burgundy blossom.
