Prunus serrula syn. Prunus serrula var. tibetica, Prunus tibetica

I couldn’t let today’s # pass by without posting a photo of my favourite tree 😍 #bark #peelingbark #prunusserrula #ornamental #mahogany 💚

Oh wow! That is really something!💘😍

It’s a great colour Barbara..🤎

Cherry trees have the most distinctive and amazing bark!

Love it!

I see a beautiful table in there. 🌞

I would be tempted to pick at it like a scab !!

😄 Same here @charlotte. The OCD in me would just want to trim it a bit! Keep an eye on me if I visit your garden Barbara!

Good spot @sunlovin 👍😂😘

It is tempting but when I see how beautiful it looks with the sun shining through the ribbons I just can’t do it! Scroll back through the photos and you’ll see what I mean 👍 @charlotte @lilybee 😘😘

Oh wow. How did you do that - scroll past to its early days. It's a beautiful tree

Me too ladies!!! 😆 @lilybee @charlotte Fabulous colour Barbara 😍

Smooth on one side, peeling bark on the other. Two reasons why I love this tree so much 🥰 #prunusserrula #peelingbark #bestofoctober #ornamental #mygardentoday 💚

That's pretty 🙂

Super cool!

Beautiful tree 😍

Beautiful bark

Thanks to Susan @novicegardenlover commenting on a post by Gilmour @oldwoodentop I’ve realised that #winterbrights doesn’t have to be about flowers! The #peelingbark on my #prunusserrula is bright and beautiful all through the year 😍

No it doesn't. This bark is so gorgeous, I thought of yours immediately when I saw his post. I have trouble remembering my password, but I remember you have these trees 😀😀

Every bit as nice as a flower Barbara ❤️

Always love your pics of this 😍

Absolutely ..I’ve just posted some beautiful lichen 👍🏻

Love this! My graft didn’t take unfortunately so I’m going to have to look for one to buy I think.

😂😂 Susan! @novicegardenlover 😘

They’re certainly the star of the winter garden @jendren @lilybee @juliesgarden 💕

That’s a shame, Rich. 😢 Good luck in your search 😘

Love the colour as well

I remember climbing our cherry tree when young. My sister and I used to peel the red bark off the stem. Lovely tree for the garden.

Happy memories, Annemarie 😍 @No.1Auntie

Such a beautiful tree❤

Love these trees 😍

It sure does....😘

So tactile 🤗

Love your tree Barbara @jacaranda it’s an Amazing colour 👌😍😘

I never get tired of photographing this tree, especially in the autumn when the sun is lower. The peeling bark is almost on fire! #prunus #prunusserrula #peelingbark #treesofjacaranda #mygardentoday 26/10/2018

I never get tired of seeing it either barbara, its great.

It’s gorgeous Barbara ❤️

It’s got a beautiful bark Barbara...looks red..😘

That looks beautiful.

Can you give it a rub for me please?! 😉😘

I just love the #texture of the #prunusserrula in #mygardentoday

...fantastic

Love these two in your garden ❤️ wish I had room for one

They don’t take up that much space, Rachel! I’m sure you could find a spot somewhere 🤔 @rachelbrooks 😘

Absolutely Love this tree 😍

Wonderful!

Alas...I actually really haven’t 😔 unless I take something out...

Could you move the house over a bit 🤔😂 @rachelbrooks

Now why didn’t I think of that?! I’ll get Paul to do it this weekend! 👍🏼😉😂

Great!!! It shouldn’t take him long. Post a photo when it’s done. 🤣🤣 @rachelbrooks

🙈😂😂 will do...

If I could only have one tree in my garden it would be Prunus Serrula! It looks great all year round and it's perfect for today's #wintercolour challenge. #prunusserrula #mygardentoday #bark

#upclose #collage #winterinterest

Love this tree. It's like mahogany and you just have to go and feel it 😊😁

You are so right @melvynprentice 👍 Mine is really smooth and shiny in places where it's been rubbed by many hands! 😀

😀 @jacaranda

One of my fave trees 🙂🌴

Lovely!

Love this tree , we have one its younger than yours but still looks stunning 😍😍😍

Prunus Serrula with the sun behind it #terrifictrees #tuesdaychoice #mygardentoday

Looks like it's on fire! 😊

I agree @gailybob It's my favourite tree!!!😍

That's amazing

Looks on fire 😍 stunning pic 💗

Superb! Just posted one of your garden @jacaranda ... All you #gtaggers should book a visit to this fab #ngs garden 😁

Call the fire brigade!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks @sussexwestngs We'll be opening on 3rd September next year but we're always delighted to welcome private groups 😀😀😀

#tagitgreen

Oooo I love that @jacaranda would look wonderful next to my silver birch 😊😉

When the sun shines through the peeling bark it looks as though it's on fire! #tibetancherry #treebark #sunshine

Stunning!

Love the feel of the smooth bark @jacaranda

Absolutely beautiful

My favourite tree! There are two of these in the garden and they create a 'gateway' from the sunnier side of the garden to the shadier part.

Are you sure you haven't got Mr Sheen out and polished it Barbara?!

No need! It's nature at its very best!!@sussexwestngs

Stunning colour 😁

Superb!! #bark #texture #prunus #TibetanCherry

Beautiful🤗
