| Can someone help me ID a tree I have noticed this Autumn? know it is a Prunus but don't know the variety. It is quite small with upright growth and striking flame red leaves in Autumn. The leaves are quite large for the tree and a bit pendulous. I don't think it' a Subhirtella "Autmnalis" because it's too upright. It might be an Amanogawa but the pictures I have seen of this show golden/orange leaves rather than bright red. Cananyone help ? |

| Apparently there's a tree called Prunus 'Spire' which has upright growth but google images don't seem to show quite as columnar a habit as 'Amanogawa'. The RHS listing says it has red/orange autumn colour. |

| Autumn colour can vary a lot from year to year in cherries. If it's shaped like 'Amanogawa', it probably is 'Amanogawa', as that's a very commonly planted cultivar. Resin |
