Purple Pony Flowering Plum

Prunus cerasifera 'Purple Pony' is a dwarf ornamental tree prized for its vibrant focal color and compact form. As a unique genetic dwarf seedling of the popular 'Krauter Vesuvius' cultivar, it provides all the dramatic landscape impact of traditional purple-leaf plums without overwhelming smaller yards or creating a fruit mess. The tree burst into life in early spring with a cloud of delicate blossoms, followed immediately by rich, dark foliage that retains its deep color throughout the summer heat. Because it is sterile and fruitless, it is a clean option for patios, lawns, and urban streets.
