Cherry tree - There is no escaping the flowering cherries at this time of year. There are some dwarf varieties but generally medium sized trees with pink or white flowers. Some also have spectacular autumn colour. Crabapple - Smaller trees than the cherries with textured bark and either rich crimson ('Rudolf') or white (floribunda) flowers. The whites are often pink in bud giving a lovely two tone effect. Amelanchier lamarckii - A small medium sized tree that is best as a multi-stemmed specimen. The new leaves emerge bronze at the some time as the flowers, before turning green and eventually a fantastic orange in autumn.
