Prunus cerasifera Crimson Pointe

Crimson Pointe Flowering Plum

Elegant and distinctive, this ornamental plum tree has a narrow, columnar habit. Its glossy dark purple foliage retains its color throughout the season, creating a striking contrast in landscape plantings. In spring, the tree becomes covered with an abundance of very pale pink, fragrant flowers that are highly appreciated by bees and other pollinators. Hardy and well adapted to urban conditions, it tolerates cold, wind, and pollution. For maintenance, lightly prune as needed to maintain its slender form and remove any dead or damaged branches. In autumn, apply mulch around the base to protect the roots and help retain soil moisture during winter.
