Purple Plum Plum has dark purple foliage with masses of pink spring blooms. Great looking tree if you’re wanting variety in your yard.  These ornamental, non-fruiting trees are deciduous and moderate to fast growing with ample water needed during summer in low deserts. They are medium to small flowering accent trees that typically grow 15 to 20 ft. in Phoenix. This variety has soft, thin oval shaped leaves with a deep burgundy to purple color. If they are shaded by larger trees the foliage takes on a green hue. In spring, trees produce pink to white flowers in masses before the leaves sprout out. They are not particular about soil, although well-drained soil is best. Minimal annual pruning for shape and size is all they require.
