Description
- All the gorgeous blossom and warm autumn colour of a regular flowering cherry tree, but with purple leaves...
- Royal Burgundy is a more compact sport (mutation) of a Kanzan cherry blossom with wine-dark purple leaves that emerge in spring with the flowers, which last for 5-10 days. These are double, rose coloured and ruffled, creating the effect of a fluffy pink canopy!
- You'll get the best flowers by planting Royal Burgundy in full sun - we also recommend showing it off against a light coloured background
- In autumn the leaves turn to warm scarlet and orange tones and the shimmering copper coloured bark stands out in the winter landscape
- Suitable for most gardens, Royal Burgundy grows up to 8x4m within 20 years
- This undemanding tree is happy in any moist, well drained soil except for chalk
- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPotsâ˘.
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I canât wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. Itâs the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants đđą
