P = Prunus
Introducing...
There are many prunus, or cherry, trees to be found around the gardens, not least the orchard of ornamental flowering cherries kindly donated by the Japanese Sakura Cherry Project to celebrate the 2020 Olympics. As this area matures, it will become a delightful place to picnic under the spring blossom. The three varieties to be found in the orchard are ‘Beni-Yutaka’, ‘Tai-Haku’ and × yedoensis.
