Prunus Cerasifera ‘Nigra’

A spectacular, deciduous tree, with dark purple, oval leaves. Masses of bowl-shaped, pale pink/white flowers smother its bare branches in early to mid-spring and are occasionally followed by plum-like red or yellow fruits. ‘Nigra’ is a superb medium-sized tree that is easy to grow and will not reach the height of a single-stemmed form making it better-suited for smaller gardens.
