Origin: the United States. Large shrub or
small deciduous tree with round, compact
crown. The bark of the young branches is
purplish-blue. Oval leaves, 5-7cm long,
ruby when they appear, later they become
reddish-purple and do not fade in
summer. Simple flowers, bright pink,
2.5cm wide on the previous year’s
branches. The flowers are numerous and
begin to open on the bare branches and
with the new leaves they literally cover
the entire crown which becomes a
breathtaking pink cloud. Fruit: small, red,
edible plums in August-September, very
decorative but sporadic. Grows well in all
normal garden soil, even dry and stony,
but it gives best results in cool, alluvial and permeable soil. Tolerates pollution and is
used a lot as a street tree where the streets are not too wide. Must me pruned after
flowering to keep the growth under control.
