Set of 2 Sand cherries - Prunus pumila depressa - 2 litre pot

This set of 2 Prunus pumila var. depressa consists of low-growing sand cherries with a spreading growth habit. Unlike classic cherry trees, this species grows close to the ground and forms a broad, ground-covering shrub. This makes it suitable for embankments, edges of borders or clearings where a low, hardy shrub is desired.

The sand cherry combines ornamental value with small, edible fruits. It blooms with white blossoms in spring, followed by dark-coloured cherries in summer. The fruits are edible and can be eaten fresh or processed, although they are smaller than in traditional cherry varieties.
