Prunus x blireana, commonly known as Purple-Leaf Plum, is an exquisite deciduous tree renowned for its stunning deep purple foliage and springtime display of fragrant pink flowers. This tree belongs to the Rosaceae family and is prized for its ornamental qualities, making it a popular choice for gardens, landscapes, and urban environments.
Common Name: Purple-Leaf PlumMature Height (meters): Typically grows to a height of 4-8 meters, forming a compact and rounded canopy.
Mature Width (meters): Spreads to approximately 3-6 meters, creating a broad and attractive canopy.
Spacing: Plant with ample space between trees to showcase its mature size and elegant form.
Leaves: The most distinctive feature of Prunus x blireana is its deep purple, almost burgundy, leaves that create a striking contrast with the pink flowers. The foliage maintains its vibrant color throughout the growing season.
Flowers: In early spring, this tree produces an abundance of fragrant, double, pink flowers that cover the branches, creating a captivating floral display. These flowers attract pollinators and add charm to the landscape.
Fruit: The Purple-Leaf Plum may produce small, round, and red-purple fruits, although they are not typically the main ornamental feature of the tree.
Bark: The bark of this tree is smooth and grayish-brown, providing a subtle backdrop to the vibrant foliage and flowers.
Form/Habit: Prunus x blireana has a naturally compact and rounded growth habit, creating an elegant and well-balanced tree.
Uses: Ideal as an ornamental tree in gardens and landscapes, as a specimen tree, or for lining streets. Its stunning foliage and springtime flowers make it a standout addition to urban and residential settings.
Sun: Thrives in full sun to partial shade, with the best foliage coloration occurring in full sun.
Maintenance: Low maintenance; minimal pruning is required to maintain its natural form and remove dead or diseased branches.
Water Requirement: Tolerant of drought once established, but regular watering is recommended during dry spells and in the tree's early years to ensure healthy growth.
