Flowering cherries

The genus Prunus, to which the cherries, plums, almonds, apricots and peaches belong, includes around 430 species spread over much of the northern temperate regions and has a toehold in South America. Although including a few evergreen species, such as the well-known cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus), the genus is mainly deciduous and generally hardy to the frosts likely to occur in most New Zealand gardens. , How to Grow Cucumbers The genus Prunus is widely recognised as being divided into 5 or 6 subgenera, though some botanists prefer to recognise these as distinct genera. The subgenus cerasus is the one to which the cherries belong. This group includes a wide variety of species, many of which are not highly ornamental. The species which are of most interest to gardeners are the Chinese and Japanese cherries, not only because they tend to be the most attractive, but also because they tend to be reasonably compact, often have attractive autumn , Landscaping Your Garden and Adding Value to Your Home foliage as well as spring flowers , Introducting KOI-Cam! and because centuries of development in oriental gardens , Edible Flowers have produced countless beautiful , Trust Your Plants - They Know How To Grow! cultivars.

The mountain cherries, which tend to have simple flowers, , Sprucing Up Your Garden With Solar are largely derived from the original Mountain Cherry (Prunus serrulata var. spontanea), Prunus subhirtella and Prunus incisa. They are mainly cultivated for their early-blooming habit, which is just as well because their rather delicate display would be overwhelmed by the flamboyance of the garden , Floral and Landscape Toupees cherries. The garden , Wind Chimes Soothe The Soul cherries are the result of much hybridisation, mostly unrecorded, so we can't be exactly sure of their origins. Prunus serrulata (in its lowland form) and Prunus subhirtella also feature , Vermiculture: Indoor Composting and Organic Soil Improvement largely in their background. The other major influences are Prunus sargentii, Prunus speciosa, Prunus apetala and possibly the widespread Bird , Delavay's Blueberry (Vaccinium delavayi) Cherries (Prunus avium and Prunus padus). The result of these old hybrids and modern developments is the wealth of forms that burst into bloom in our gardens , Edible Flowers every spring. , Daphnes for Scent and Colour Regretfully, that complex parentage and those centuries of development and countless cultivars combined with Western misunderstandings of Japanese names and multiple introductions of the same plants , Teak Furniture for Your Garden: Add a Touch of Something Spectacular under different names has led to considerable confusion with the names of flowering , Wood Sheds cherries.
