Located in or near the tennis court green space, the previous curator planted five trees, creating an elegant canopy, which only gets better with each passing year. Mid-spring the lightly fragrant flowers start to pop open, and if we get a warm spell, the entire tree will burst forth, and the word ‘enchanting’ is a good adjective to use in describing the effect. Wide spreading with age, it is best to give this tree enough room to mature, as pruning a cherry to make it fit an area is a travesty. Ornamental cherries are prone to various diseases/pests, if sited poorly, so do your research.
