Purple-leaved plum has new foliage which unfolds
as ruby red, then turns reddish-purple, and finally
matures to greenish-bronze by the end of the summer. Its fast growth rate and upright to uprightspreading
nature quickly forms a 15 to 25-foot-tall,
dense silhouette. The small, white to light pink,
springtime flowers, which usually appear before the
leaves unfold, are followed by a heavy crop of edible,
one-inch-diameter purple fruits. They make a
temporary mess beneath the tree as they mature and
drop during the summer.
