Prunus Cerasifera Nigra | 12L Pot

Purple leaves and pale pink/white blossom in spring. Position: full sun Soil: moist, well-drained fertile soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: March to April Hardiness: fully hardyA 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. Garden care: When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Lightly prune in summer to retain the shape and cut back any dead, diseased or crossing branches.
