Prunus Pisardii
Prunus Pisardii, commonly known as the Purple Leaf Plum, is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree or large shrub, highly valued for its striking purple foliage and beautiful springtime blossoms. Native to Western Asia, this ornamental tree features deep purple to reddish-brown leaves that maintain their vibrant color throughout the growing season, adding a dramatic splash of color to gardens and landscapes. In early spring, before the leaves fully emerge, the tree is adorned with a profusion of small, delicate, pale pink to white flowers, which are often followed by small, dark red to purple fruits. Though the fruits are edible, they are typically more appreciated by wildlife than by humans.
