Prunus campanulata (Taiwan Cherry)

Prunus campanulata, commonly known as the Taiwan Cherry, is a spectacular deciduous to semi-evergreen ornamental tree renowned for its masses of vibrant deep pink to crimson, bell-shaped flowers that appear in late winter to early spring. The brilliant floral display blooms before or as the foliage emerges, providing an early burst of colour that attracts birds and pollinators. Glossy green foliage creates an attractive canopy through the warmer months before developing warm yellow, orange, and red tones in cooler climates.

Fast-growing, hardy, and easy to maintain, Taiwan Cherry thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Its upright, rounded habit makes it an excellent choice as a feature tree, avenue planting, or focal point in Japanese-inspired and ornamental gardens. Combining exceptional early flowering, attractive foliage, and reliable performance, Prunus campanulata adds outstanding seasonal beauty to residential and commercial landscapes.
