Native Irish Blossom & Spectacular Autumn Colour
The Wild Cherry, or Gean (Crann silín fiáin), is one of Ireland’s most breathtaking native deciduous trees. In early spring, it produces a mass of pure white, single blossoms before the leaves emerge, attracting early pollinators and signaling the arrival of the new season.
By late summer, small red-to-dark-purple cherries appear, providing a vital food source for wild birds. As autumn approaches, the foliage transforms into a vivid display of deep reds, oranges, and warm golds. Featuring smooth, reddish-brown bark with distinctive horizontal band markings, the Wild Cherry brings elegance, wildlife value, and seasonal interest to gardens, estate grounds, and native woodlands.
