Prunus cerasifera 'Nigra' - Black Cherry Plum - Blossom Tree - 220-250cm Tall
The Prunus Nigra, often called the Black Cherry Plum, is a gorgeous ornamental tree that adds interest and colour to your garden. Its pale pink blooms, appearing in early spring, contrast beautifully with its deep purple, nearly black, foliage. The blooms increase the biodiversity of your garden by drawing pollinators like bees. The rich, dark leaves, which change to blazing tones of red and orange in the autumn, make a dramatic backdrop as the seasons change.
In late summer, the Prunus Nigra provides small, dark purple fruits in addition to its aesthetic value. These berries resemble plums and can be used to make preserves, jams, and jellies. Plant in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. The Prunus Nigra is hardy and easy to maintain, requiring only light pruning in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or crossing branches.
Supplied in 12 litre containers at Circa 220-250cm tall
