Prunus ×hillieri is a hybrid flowering cherry, a cross between Fuji cherry and hill cherry, best known through the columnar cultivar 'Spire', which is widely grown as a street and garden tree for its pink spring blossom. Give it full sun and well-drained soil.
Prunus × hillieri is the result of a cross between Prunus incisa (Fuji cherry) and Prunus sargentii (hill cherry). The most famous cultivar is 'Spire', which was developed from a sport discovered growing in Hillier and Sons nursery of Winchester. Growing to 10 m (33 ft), with at most a 7 m (23 ft) spread, 'Spire's columnar growth form and pink flowers make it quite useful in particular landscaping applications. It is regularly used as a street tree. In 1993 'Spire' won the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
