Even the smallest leaves can burn brightly in the #autumn. The well-known #Prunus Kojo No Mai is much lauded as a dwarf ornamental cherry. However, it's not a dwarf at all. Trimmed to one single leader, your diminutive cherry can make a nice tall statement within a few years. I bought one 4 years ago, and it is already 5 and half feet tall.

Of course, you can shape it into balls, pyramids, and aubergines if you like, but I feel that this plant deserves to show off and sparkle at eye level.
Glowing orange red serrated leaf of Prunus incision Kojo No Mai, or the Japanese Fuji Cherry. Exhibiting a unique zig zag growth habit of its branches, this wonderful shrub has a gnarled and aged look even when small. The small toothed leaves turn all sorts of red, orange, pink and plum purple every autumn, providing a second show of the year prior to the winter. The books say that eventual heights are roughly 8 feet in 20 years, but I have seen them grown together as arches and fanned out against sunny walls. Let your imagination inspire you.
