Cherry Tree Florist

Off the main drag on Whitehill Street, which is rather the point.

The verdict

Whitehill Street runs off Duke Street into the residential heart of Dennistoun, and a florist that survives on a side street rather than a main road is doing so on reputation rather than footfall. Cherry Tree Florist has done exactly that, and it turns up regularly in wedding directories as well as general listings. A sign that its work is being chosen deliberately rather than stumbled into.

Expect a small, personal operation: hand-tied work, occasion arrangements and wedding flowers, with the attention that a low-volume shop can afford to give. The quiet location is a genuine practical advantage too. You can stop the car outside, which on Duke Street you cannot.

Best for

Dennistoun weddings; anyone who wants time and conversation rather than a counter transaction.

What I would order

A wedding or occasion piece. This is where a side-street shop puts its effort.

Worth knowing

Small operation with limited online presence; phone ahead, especially for anything sizeable.

The Dennistoun florist you only find if you live there or someone tells you.

Who it is not for

Last-minute walk-in buying. A side-street shop is not where you go when you have five minutes.

How it compares

For the main-road, in-and-out version, Florresters is around the corner on Duke Street.

Getting there

Whitehill Street, off Duke Street. Duke Street rail station is a short walk; street parking is actually possible.
