Prunus Comet - Compact Cherry Almond Shrub

Flowering Cherry-Almond SHRUB - Prunus 'Comet'

The flowering cherry-almond blooms in Spring, usually in April and May, although it can be much earlier in many areas. It originates from the far east where it is famed as a herald of Spring. It is a dwarf compact flowering bushy shrub that can grow 120-150 (5ft) tall, but is easily maintained at half that height if required.

The flowering cherry-almond also displays outstanding yellow-bronze autumn colour. The medium-green leaves of the flowering cherry-almond shrub have an elongated oval shape, and finely toothed edges, providing light dappled shade in the summer months to anything below. The flowering cherry-almond is ideal in the garden or near the house.

Planted in a row, flowering cherry-almonds will create an attractive shrub border along a path, patio or boundary. Not only will this rustic plant withstand the toughest of winters but it is also gifted with a resistance to most pests and diseases.

This adaptable plant will also grow harmoniously on its own, and would also look fantastic in a courtyard planter when it blooms. In any case, it makes a perfect plant for the most modern to the most traditional of gardens.

Our Flowering Cherry-Almond Shrubs are each supplied in approx 2-3 Litre containers, full of buds and blooms in season.
