Prunus 'Thibaud'
This is probably a Prunus cerasus hybrid selected by Benoit Choteau at Pépinières Choteau in Bray, Southern Belgium. It is not, as might be expected, named after Romeo’s adversary in Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet but for a grandson.
It is late flowering with pink buds opening to single white flowers flushed pink.
