Felix Jury

Prunus campanulata
Prunus Felix Jury blossom

Felix Jury is a small upright flowering cherry tree, typical of the species Prunus campanulata - the Formosan Cherry.

The blossom arrives extremely early in the spring, and is a deep pink colour, with contrasting golden yellow stamens.

Unlike most flowering cherries, the leaves appear at more or less the same time as the blossom - it is often one of the first varieties to show leaves.

After the flowers have finished, the bright red stems of the new leaf shoots help the tree to stand out.
