If you Google it you can get some info and raves about it. It is definitely
ornamental. It is supposed to be a good flowering cherry for our USDA zone 8
and heat. Of course, the same disease and insect problems as with all prunus
species down here. They are supposed to bloom late Feb. with a fantastic
display. 'Okame' variety also has great red fall color too. If you are in
the UK you probably won't have need for one.

Has anyone in the area tried to grow any of the Taiwan Cherry (Prunus
Campanulata)? I keep reading good things about them, but never seen or
heard
of them in Texas. I was thinking of making an internet order.
LarryNever heard of it. I guess it's an ornamental? Do you have a link
for an
online source?
