Prunus Serrula and Prunus Serrulata are two different trees. The bark
of the first looks like this:

Now I just have to find a place nearby that sells it.

I want to get a Prunus Serrula because of fantastic bark but can't
find anyone carrying it.

Does anyone know where I could buy/order this in Toronto?

Or does anyone have other recommendations for a tree that has such an
interesting trunk?

Perhaps you mean Prunus serrulata (Kwanzan cherry), most any plant
nursery will be able to accomodate you. What's so fantastic about the
bark, not much different from any cherry tree.



Sometimes Prunus serrula goes by the common names "birch-bark cherry" or
"paper bark cherry". I love its coppery-red bark too. The following
article gives suggestions/sources for trees with interesting bark including
Prunus serrula.

Also, check out Prunus maackii (Amur Chokecherry) for its interesting bark.
