About this plant

Its leaves emerge green and darken to purple. Flowers and dark fruit add seasonal interest.

As the plant matures it forms an upright crown that gradually widens, creating a strong shape through the growing season.

Best used for

Use as a colourful small tree in a lawn, mixed landscape planting or wildlife garden.

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

Growth & mature size

Growth per year 25–50 cm per year Medium growth
Expected mature size 6–9 m high / 4–6 m wide

Expect around 25–50 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 6–9 m in height and 4–6 m in width. Allow room for an upright crown that gradually widens; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.

How to care

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.
