Reading these figures
Taxon characteristics; actual size and flowering in the garden depend on conditions.

The garden catalogue records this plant as Prunus sp. ‘Thames Cross’. The record is insufficient to assign all growing characteristics reliably.

Without a precise species or cultivar identification, mature height, flowering time and lifespan cannot be stated responsibly. We retain the original designation to preserve the planting record.

Lifespan: A numerical lifespan range is not established by the references used. Growth and appearance of the ‘Thames Cross’ cultivar may differ from the species; species dimensions above are not a precise cultivar measurement.
