Tree Prunus x blireana Purple Ornamental Plum

 

 

 

 
Description A good, vase-shaped flowering Plum tree for spring blossom (sometimes incorrectly referred to as a Cherry). This deciduous tree is relatively small growing to around 5m tall. It has slender, arching branches, double mauve-pink flowers, and reddish-purple leaves which turn purplish green in summer. An early flowering variety, it heralds the warmer days as they arrive with a beautiful display of slightly fragrant blossoms from mid-August to mid-September. Being a hybrid variety it is sterile and does not produce fruit.
