Ornamental plum trees are known for their beautiful show of flowers which appear in spring, and the flowers are often pale pink or white. Some species in this genus have ornamental bark, but most are grown for their delightful autumn interest with a colourful foliage display before leaf-fall. These outstanding trees are a great choice for attracting wildlife to your garden, particularly as some of them bear fruit in autumn which proves to be popular with the birds. Many of these beautiful trees can be kept fairly small, and are therefore well-suited to the small-average sized garden.
You can buy Prunus trees online direct from our nursery for secure and fast delivery throughout the UK.

Prunus Nigra
Black Leaved Plum
The Prunus 'Nigra', which is commonly known as the black leaves plum tree, is an outstanding flowering tree. In March, before the leaves appear, the bare branches become wreathed with bowl-shaped pink flowers which cover the tree is a delightful pink cloud. The idyllic flowers are later followed by dark purple leaves which really stand out amongst green trees. The rich purple leaves are complimented by the deep purple stems which look even more appealing during winter when the leaves have fallen. The 'Nigra' will form a rounded tree and it makes the most beautiful lawn specimen.
