 | Bird Cherry (Prunus Padus)
Only the birds will eat the bitter cherries of this native deciduous hedging plant, who's Latin name is Greek for Wild Cherry (Padus). Bird Cherry is often found as a component in a native mixed hedge or as a single species hedge or it can be allowed to grow as a tree. It has small, almond scented flowers carried in spikes approx 5" long. It does well in any well drained soil, even poor soil but is not suitable for coastal or exposed sites or full shade.
In the season, we despatch 90cm (and taller) bare root plants weekly. Orders received by Thursday evening are despatched the following Tuesday or Wednesday.
Bare root plants are available November until March. Please see our Bare Root/Transplant section for full details. You can pre-order to guarantee an early delivery date - either order online (credit or debit cards are charged immediately) or call our order line on 01225 422077 to order by telephone (credit or debit cards will be charged a few days before despatch).
Prices shown are the price per plant. Planting distances are very much a matter of choice - 3 plants per metre is adequate, 5 is good, 7 in a double staggered row will give a dense hedge quicker. Generally, smaller plants should be planted at higher density.
