The Birch Bark is a widely beloved ornamental cherry tree and rarely enough, not just for the delicate blossoms it produces. Although lovely, the clusters of white flowers are often an afterthought to the striking dimension of exfoliating and polished mahogany bark this tree displays. This cultivar is known by many names including Tibetan Cherry and Paper Bark Cherry. Certainly providing the highest level of winter interest of all cherries, it would be a challenging task indeed to find any tree at all matching the glossy copper color of the Birch Bark. Narrow, willowy leaves create dark green sheets around the gently peeling bark that gives off the illusion of stained glass, especially in winter months. Birch Bark Cherry Blossom Tree, botanical name Prunus serrula, is suited to USDA zones 5-9 and reaches a height/spread of 15 ft. to 20 ft. The flowers are creamy white, the thin narrow leaves dark green and the signature bark is a delightful copper/bronze. This uniquely textured tree has shining copper bark that creates stunning illusions with the changing sunlight throughout the day and perfectly accents almost any landscape wishing for a bit more depth in winter.
