While other cherries are still in bud, ‘Kursar’ blooms early, cloaking branches in vivid single blooms sought after by eager pollinators.The unfurling foliage emerge reddish-bronze then mature to mid-green hues before revealing brilliant golden undertones in autumn. Even on bare winter branches, exfoliating bark provides year-round visual appeal. Despite its multi-season attributes, ‘Kursar’ remains a demure garden addition. The compact rounded shape suits small garden plots or urban courtyards, providing structure without overpowering the situation. Tolerant of pollution, it thrives in challenging city environments.
Bare root plants should be planted out as soon as they arrive. If this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily (covering their roots with soil) or potted up. Before planting, soak the rootball in a bucket of water for half an hour and make sure to incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole. Stake firmly in exposed positions and keep the base of the tree weed free. Fertilise at the beginning of each year and water regularly during hot, dry spells. Choose a sheltered spot to protect emerging blossom. A rabbit or deer guard will protect against pest damage. Lightly prune in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf and bacterial canker.
