Flowering Plum
Prunus cerasifera

  • Spread: 15 - 25'

Purple leaves and white to light pink flowers in spring make this species popular. However, it is short-lived and not all cultivars are hardy for extreme cold. "Newport" appears to be the hardiest.

Plant approved cultivars only: Krauter, Vesuvius Plum, Mt. St. Helens Plum, and Newport Plum.
