Strawberries and Cream Tree
Backwell, Italy
The Strawberries and Cream Tree is a graft hybrid cherry tree (of Prunus avium and P. serrulata 'Kanzan') in Backwell, North Somerset, England. Planted on council land in the 1950s, it is noted for producing two distinct colours of blossom: pink blossom on one side of the tree and white on the other
, when it blooms every spring. This gave rise to the name 'Strawberries and Cream Tree', which was coined by children of Backwell. It is one of only two reported examples of cherry-Kanzan graft hybrid trees in England; the other being in Portchester, Hampshire.
