The flowers are deep cerise bells hanging in tight clusters on bare wood in late winter, an altogether stronger colour than the pale pinks of the Japanese cherries, and the honeyeaters find them within days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Taiwan Cherry\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Chill Requirement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flowers reliably in warm temperate and subtropical gardens where other cherries stay bare.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Intensity\u003c\/strong\u003e: Deep cerise to magenta bells, pendulous and densely clustered along every twig.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEarly Timing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Opens in late winter, usually weeks before other ornamental cherries and often before the last frosts.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBird Value\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nectar rich flowers pull wattlebirds, honeyeaters and lorikeets into the garden.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlossy Foliage\u003c\/strong\u003e: New leaves emerge bronze and mature to a clean glossy green, with bronze and orange tones in autumn.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinter Feature Tree\u003c\/strong\u003e: Placed where it is seen from a living area during the months the garden is otherwise flat.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall Garden Shade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Modest canopy that suits courtyards and townhouse blocks.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBird Attracting Plantings\u003c\/strong\u003e: Combined with grevillea and correa for a sequence of winter nectar.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStreet and Verge Planting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Manageable scale and upright vase shape for narrow nature strips.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 to 4m in a row\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 to 6m for open crowns\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn or late winter, avoiding midsummer\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free draining loam or sandy loam.
