About Prunus x hillieri 'Spire'
As its name suggests, this cherry has an upright and narrow conical shape. It is excellent for small gardens and for use as a street tree. Medium-sized single flowers create a soft pink cloud; autumn foliage is attractive. Prunus x hillieri is a cross between P. incisa and P. sargentii; the cultivar 'Spire' was introduced in 1956.
