There's something really special about the combination of deep rose-pink blossom against rich burgundy foliage, and 'Royal Burgundy' gives you both. Clusters of double flowers cover the branches in spring, appearing alongside the emerging coppery-purple leaves and creating a striking contrast.
The foliage is every bit as important as the flowers. The leaves deepen to rich burgundy-purple through summer, giving the tree colour long after the blossom has finished. Come autumn, they change again, taking on fiery shades of bronze, orange, red and scarlet before falling.
Closely related to the much-loved 'Kanzan', 'Royal Burgundy' develops an upright, vase-shaped habit when young, gradually becoming broader as it matures. Its combination of spring blossom, dark summer foliage and spectacular autumn colour makes it a fantastic specimen tree for a lawn or border and a real feature across the seasons. It also holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit for its proven garden performance.
How your tree is supplied:
Supplied as a bare-root tree, grafted onto Colt rootstock. Its upright branching develops into the tree's characteristic vase-shaped form as it matures.
