Purple Leaf
Sand Cherry
Prunus Cistena
This thick-growing, long-lived shrub is called the Purple Leaf Sand
Cherry. Sometimes called Purple leaf Plum although the actual purple leaf plum
is a tree. However, this can also be trained as a small tree if desired.
Produces bright red 3 inch leaves in spring and blushing, white flowers in May. In autumn it produces purple-black edible cherries and the foliage turns a magnificent reddish purple.
This ornamental shrub is especially valued for its hardiness and unique coloring. It is an asset to the landscape and a standout specimen shrub. Makes a wonderful hedge as well!
