Albertii

Prunus padus
Albertii
Albertii is listed in the RHS Plants for Pollinators

The species Prunus padus is native to Britain as well as northern Europe and Asia. It is commonly known as the Bird cherry.

Albertii is a typical example, notable for its compact proportions, upright growth, and particularly its profuse blossom - which arrives quite late in the spring.

The flowers sometimes have an almond-like scent.

We only produce this variety occasionally, see also Prunus padus 'Le Thoureil'.
