Prunus sargentii 'Columnaris' (pink)

This upright deciduous tree showcases a columnar habit, making it an excellent choice for narrow spaces or elegant vertical accents in landscapes. Hardy in zones 4-7, it thrives in temperatures ranging from -30°F to 20°F and prefers well-drained, fertile soils with moderate moisture. In early spring, it dazzles with clusters of soft pink flowers, attracting pollinators to their delicate blooms. The glossy green foliage transitions into spectacular shades of orange and red in the fall, offering multi-seasonal interest. With mature heights reaching 20-30 feet and a spread of 10-15 feet, its slim profile is ideal for confined spaces. While generally deer-resistant, occasional browsing may occur. The tree does not bear noticeable fruit but contributes structure and beauty to the landscape.
