Autumnalis Cherry Blossom The Seasonal Rule-Breaker
The Autumnalis Cherry Tree (Prunus subhirtella ‘Autumnalis’) is the most surprising member of the cherry blossom world. Its most radical distinction is the ability to bloom twice a year. While most cherry trees wait patiently for spring, the Autumnalis begins showcasing its delicate blossoms in late autumn (November to December). Even during mild winter spells, this variety can continue to produce scattered flowers, before making its grand, full-scale finale in early spring.
Graceful Form and Fine Texture
Structurally, the Autumnalis develops a broad, rounded canopy with thin, elegant branches. Its flowers are semi-double and range in color from a very pale shell pink to pure white. Reaching heights of 6 to 10 meters, this tree is unmatched for creating “winter interest” in landscaping. The rare contrast of blossoms appearing just as the foliage turns to yellow and bronze in the fall makes it a standout feature. With its hardiness and unusual cycle, it is ideal for those who want a garden that feels alive in every season.
