Notes

Underused in Fort Collins as an ornamental. Relatively long lived for prunus with few issues. Manchurian form seldom produces fruit and is better adapted as a street tree. Good drought tolerance and spring flowering. Broad low form allows for shading with a small maximum height. Self-pollinating, but does better with two or more plants.
