Prunus Cerasifera Nigra Crown

Introduced in the early 1900s this form of the Cherry Plum (or Myrobolan) usually sets only a few red fruits.

A popular tree, often planted in city streets or verges, it is easy to maintain in a garden as it reacts well to very severe pruning.

A small tree with a rounded form, it is most notable for its purple leaves and stems.

Early pink spring flowers fade to white before the leaves take full effect.

This is a robust performer, thriving on most free draining soils.

Mature height: 5-10m
