Lots of suppliers in Australia http://www.flemings.com.au/ornamental_details.asp?CULT_ID=FASTNIGR but can't find any in UK.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I had a look in plantfinder and was going to send a lin kbut drew a blank

That seems like a very tricky-to-get-hold-of tree. May I ask why you want that particular cultivar? As there are many others that are similar, would they be of interest?
I have prunus cerasifera nigra - which is readily available and similar colour to what you are looking for.
Where did you see this plant Denise and what makes it distinctive?
There may be a very similar cultivar in the UK.

Prunus trilobas are very nice had one on my last garden, keep meaning to get another.
prunus cerasifera oakville crimson spire is the name you are looking for flemings nurseries is one place you might try but there is a snag its in australia
As has already been established, Flemings are in Australia - the request is for a supplier for the UK.
