Prunus x blireana — 12L Container

Prunus x blireana is an ornamental plum with fragrant, double, rose-pink flowers in April, set against metallic coppery-purple leaves that hold their colour through summer. Small and vase-shaped, it is a pretty choice for a smaller garden.

It grows to around 4m x 3m after 10 years. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil; it tolerates most soils, including chalk and clay. Little pruning is needed, but any that is required should be done in summer, when the risk of silver leaf is lowest.

Each tree is hand-selected before dispatch.
