Newport Flowering Plum

Colored foliage is always a boost in the garden, bringing color all season, not just for a few weeks. The Newport Purple-leaf Plum not only has fabulous purple leaves that hold their color from spring to fall, it has a beautiful display of fragrant pink flowers that cover the bare branches in late winter or early spring. As if that was not enough, this tree grows up to three feet in a year when young, so it will be a presence in your garden in just a few seasons. It makes a beautiful hedge or screen too and it can be trimmed easily to fit your needs.

• Spectacular purple foliage all season
• Beautiful fragrant pink flowers in spring
• Crop of small edible fruit for canning
• Easy to grow in any soil at all
• Fast-growing and trouble-free specimen or screen

The perfect medium size for today’s smaller gardens, the Newport Purple-leaf Plum will give you flowers, foliage and fruit from just one tree. It is also happy even in extremely acid or alkaline soils and even clay.
