PRUNUS CER NEWPORT
Grower Notes:

The Newport Plum is a small, hardy, deciduous tree that is quite popular for its beautiful purple foliage. Leaves emerge bronze-red when young, then mature to dark purple in summer and fall. Pale pink to white, sweetly fragrant flowers appear in early spring before the leaves and are followed by purple, edible fruits (drupes) in summer. Thrives in average, well-drained soil in full sun.
