Double Gean 'Double Cherry' Ornamental Tree Description

The Double Gean, also known as the Double Cherry, is a magnificent ornamental tree celebrated for its spectacular spring blooms and graceful form. This deciduous tree typically reaches heights of 4-8 metres (13-26 feet) and boasts a rounded crown, making it an excellent choice for gardens, parks, and larger landscapes where its stunning floral display can be fully appreciated.

In spring, the Double Gean comes alive with an abundance of double pink flowers that bloom in clusters, creating a breathtaking canopy of soft, romantic hues. These fragrant blossoms not only enhance the tree's beauty but also attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, contributing positively to the garden ecosystem. As summer approaches, the tree’s lush green leaves provide a vibrant backdrop, offering shade and a cooling effect. In autumn, the foliage transitions to warm shades of yellow and orange, adding seasonal interest before the leaves fall.

Pruning Advice

Pruning is important for maintaining the health and shape of the Double Gean. Light pruning can be performed in late summer or early autumn, after the flowering season has concluded. This can involve removing any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to improve airflow and light penetration. Pruning can also help maintain the desired shape of the tree, ensuring it remains attractive and balanced.

Avoid heavy pruning, especially in the spring, as this can negatively impact the blooming process. Regularly inspect the tree for signs of disease or pests and take appropriate action to maintain its vitality. With proper care and attention, the Double Gean will provide years of stunning beauty and enjoyment in any garden setting.
