Purple Leaf Plum is one of the most striking ornamental trees in the landscape, commanding attention with its deep burgundy-purple foliage that holds its rich color from the moment it emerges in spring right through summer. Delicate pink flowers open along the bare branches in early spring, creating a breathtaking contrast before the dark foliage unfurls. It grows to 15–20 feet with a classic vase-shaped form, making it an outstanding focal point or specimen planting in full sun. In autumn, the foliage deepens to vivid red-burgundy and purple tones before dropping. Birds are drawn to the small decorative fruit that follows the spring flowers, bringing extra life to the garden through summer and fall. Cold-hardy and dependable, this is a tree that delivers dramatic color and four-season character with minimal care.
