Prunus triloba

Prunus triloba

Also known as the Rose Tree of China, this unassuming shrub becomes a real show-stopper in spring when it is covered with masses of 1”+  rich pink double blossoms. It is a large shrub or small tree with a spreading habit whose foliage post spring is a nice bright green though in contrast, admittedly unremarkable. Very hardy and may be pruned to maintain at a smaller size.
