Prunus Accolade is a popular ornamental cherry tree, characterised by its graceful spreading habit, and well-suited to the climate of the UK.
The young branches appear to be weighed down by the mass of pink blossom in the spring.
In autumn the leaves develop orange - red tints.
Accolade makes a good choice as a medium-sized specimen tree for lawns or avenues.

What will it look like?
Illustrative example of a pot-grown tree of this variety as supplied.
(Approx. girth: 6/8).
Trees should reach their mature height after about 10 or more years.
We may also have 1-year bare-root trees of this variety - they are not shown here.
Leaves may not be present during winter, and we may prune some shoots to fit the delivery carton. Size may vary during the season and between batches.
The container (if supplied) is only used for transporting the tree, which should then be planted out in the garden or in a much larger patio planter (not all species are suitable for patio planting).
