Capulín Cherry Tree (Prunus salicifolia)

Capulín Cherry Tree (Prunus salicifolia)

Bring a touch of early spring magic to your garden with the Capulín Cherry—a striking, fast-growing tree known for its cascading branches and beautiful white blossoms. Native to Central and South America, this tree is both ornamental and fruitful, making it a fantastic addition to larger landscapes.

In early spring, its graceful, slender shoots burst into masses of delicate white flowers, each accented with a tuft of golden stamens. As the season progresses, the fruit emerges—starting out yellow, then ripening into deep red or almost black. The cherries themselves are small, soft, and juicy, with a unique tropical sweetness.

🌱 Key Features:

• Self-pollinating: No need for a second tree—one is enough to produce fruit.

• Cold-tolerant: Handles frost well, though it may shed leaves during harsher winters.

• Low-chill variety: Requires only light winter chilling (below 7°C) to set fruit.

• Fast grower: Reaches maturity quickly, with fruiting beginning in about 3 years.

• Not grafted: Naturally grown from seed for resilience and character.

• Planting tip: Best suited to open ground rather than pots—these trees like space to thrive.

If you’re looking for a hardy, eye-catching fruit tree that’s both beautiful and productive, the Capulín Cherry is a standout choice.
