Hi, I'm new here, I would be greatful if someone knew the ID of this tree. My late mother bought it about five years ago and it's been growing in a half barrel ever since. Now I've finally bought my house I'd like to plant it, but I know nothing about it.

How big does it grow? When is the best time to plant it in the ground? & how to do it?

Thanks in advance...

A nice young cherry tree
Best time to plant is in the Autumn and start by diging a hole

It's a (Flowering) Cherry (Prunus) but which one and on which rootstock?
Most flowering cherries do not grow too big and the best time to plant is 3
months ago but as it's in a pot any time is OK but keep it watered well.

Eh? Not too big! Good grief ours was a wild cherry tree and it was huge!
Eventually had to take it down as it got old and was very close to front
o and was dying bit by bit , though admittedly after probably 70 years

Our big two-person hammock is strung between two flowering cherries.
