Description:
Prunus maackii, commonly called the Manchurian cherry or Amur chokecherry, is a species of cherry native to Korea and both banks of the Amur River, in Manchuria in northeastern China, and Amur Oblast and Primorye in southeastern Russia.

The Amur cherry grows best in moist well drained soils that receive full sunlight. Although the Amur cherry can tolerate extreme cold, it does very poorly in high heat conditions.

The innocuous flowers are barely fragrant and produce tiny (5mm)cherries that are wolfed down by many species of songbirds

The Goldspur Amur Cherry is similar to the Goldrush Amur Cherry in all respects except for size. The Goldspur is a little more than half the size of the Goldrush reaching about 5m (15ft) in height by about 3m (10ft)in width. The tree has unique tufts of dark green foliage and coppery orange bark for winter colour.
