Nigra Purple-leaf Plum – Prunus cerasifera ‘Nigra’

Nigra purple-leaf plum displays pink spring blossom against very dark burgundy foliage.

As the plant matures it forms a rounded, often spreading crown, creating a strong shape through the growing season.

Plant as a bold specimen, small avenue tree or a source of contrast in a sunny border.

Give the plant enough space and light to show its natural form.

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Water deeply through the first growing seasons and during prolonged dry spells later on. Top-dress with mature compost once a year in spring, keeping it clear of the stems. Remove damaged or crossing wood in dry summer weather, avoiding heavy pruning of this flowering tree.

You will receive a healthy container plant in the selected size. The plant is prepared for delivery and supplied ready for planting.

Natural variation in shape, branching, leaf density and seasonal appearance is normal. Plants may look different depending on the time of year.
