Bird Cherry Hedging – Prunus Padus
£0.99 – £118.79
The Bird Cherry, or Prunus Padus, is a highly admired hedging plant, cherished for its stunning seasonal displays and ecological benefits. Its most captivating feature is the profusion of fragrant white flowers that blossom in spring, creating an enchanting visual and olfactory experience. These flowers not only add aesthetic value but also attract an array of pollinators, boosting garden biodiversity. Following the flowering season, the plant produces small, dark cherries, highly favoured by birds, aligning perfectly with its common name. In autumn, the leaves of Bird Cherry transform into a beautiful array of yellows and reds, offering a magnificent display of fall colour.

Prunus Padus is an excellent choice for hedges due to its dense growth habit, creating effective privacy screens and natural boundaries. This versatility makes it suitable for both formal and informal garden designs. Bird Cherry thrives in a variety of soil types but prefers moist, well-drained conditions. It is adaptable to different light environments, flourishing in both full sun and partial shade. This adaptability, combined with its robust growth, makes Bird Cherry a reliable and attractive hedging choice.
Incorporating Bird Cherry into a mixed native hedgerow is an ideal strategy. It complements other native species like Hawthorn or Blackthorn, providing a rich tapestry of textures and colors throughout the seasons. Its role in supporting local wildlife, offering both sustenance and habitat, enhances the ecological value of a mixed hedge. For more detailed information about Bird Cherry, the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) offers an extensive guide, available at RHS – Bird Cherry.
