Below is the Tibetian Cherry (Prunus serrula).
It is an amazing feature tree for a small garden or a cluster of them can become a luminous surreal grove in the dark corner of a big garden.
They are not noted for their leaves or sometimes edible fruit but are the King of Bark in Winter. You can’t stop touching the trunk either, like it’s made from plastic silk if that can be imagined.
In the background is the thin vibrant branches of yellow and red stemmed Dogwood.
