The purple plum, Prunus cerasifera, is an ornamental tree bearing pink spring blossom early in the season, which is followed by edible, plum-sized cherries in summer. Its bronze-coloured new foliage gradually darkens to rich purple. It's a magnificent tree, which also bears incredible autumn colours before leaf fall.
Like all deciduous prunus, Prunus cerasifera enjoys a moist but well-drained soil and thrives in full sun.
