Prunus cerasifera var. pissardii 'Nigra'
Prunus cerasifera var. pissardii 'Nigra' is a striking ornamental flowering tree grown for its dramatic dark purple foliage and beautiful early spring blossom. Masses of delicate pale pink flowers appear on the bare branches before the leaves emerge, creating a spectacular seasonal display.
As the season progresses, glossy deep purple leaves develop and hold their rich colour throughout summer, providing strong contrast within the garden. Ideal as a specimen tree for lawns, avenues or larger borders, it brings structure, colour and early nectar for pollinators.
