Prunus serrula Prunus 'First Blush' exfoliating barkPrunus serrula Tibetica is always a winner! In winter, it is convincing with its appealing bark colour, and in the spring with its white flowers. It is a large shrub or small tree that grows up to 5m high; often forming multi stemmed, loose broad crown. The crown grows more asymmetrical in maturity, dense and branched in a shrub like fashion. The genus Prunus is one of the most diverse, and Prunus serrula has the most spectacular mahogany brown bark
