About
Prunus 'Horinji' is a deciduous tree that reaches up to 4 meters in height, characterized by its upright branching structure. In the spring, it produces pale pink, semi-double blossoms that open from reddish-pink buds. The fresh leaves emerge with a bronze tint, transition to green during the summer months, and display vibrant yellow and orange hues before they drop in the fall.
