Green Island Gardens

Prunus'

The Prunus genus is a wide group of trees, many fruit bearing trees. Here at Green Island Gardens, we mostly have Cherry trees, for their ornamental value. These trees produce the most delicate flowers that can brighten up any garden with their whimsical beauty. Due to their small and compact sizing, they are perfect for small gardens and patios, but also can be used in larger gardens. Below is listed all the different varieties we stock here, as well as descriptions to help you pick which would be best for you. 

Below there is a list of all the prunus' we stock, as well as brief descriptions to help decide which might be best for you. If you need more help, come visit our nursery at Green Island Gardens and we'll be happy to help.  To order any of our prunus' please email us at info@greenislandgardens.com and we'll let you know availability and pricing!
