Purple Leaf Plum
Prunus cerasifera 'Crimson
Pointe'
(PROO-nus) (ke-ra-SEE-fer-uh)
Synonyms: Cipriozam,
Cripoizam, Crimson Point, Purple Cherry Plum
This tree is a columnar
selection of Newport Plum. It was blooming early this spring and kind of caught
my attention. Later I saw it at two other nurseries for sale. So I went from
never seeing it to seeing three times in two weeks. It is a narrow tree that
has deep merlot colored foliage and a profuse amount of white flowers. I have
to admit for a thing with columnar type trees. In their space they work great
and can be a real problem solver. This tree grows 20 feet (6.09m) tall but only
5 (1.5m) feet wide. I think we are poised to see a lot more of this tree.
Since its Sunday here is a
bonus snapshot of a very early Lily. L.A. lilies are a hybrid between Easter
lily (Lilium longiflorum) and Asiatic hybrids. They usually have large,
fragrant flowers that are good for cutting. There seems to be literally 100’s
of different cultivars now.
