Not only is the Newport a remarkably beautiful tree, it’s also the hardiest and most reliable of the purple-leaf plums!
This is a fantastic showpiece tree for those limited spaces, such as patios or small front yards. The deciduous Newport grows in an attractive round form. White to light pink flowers bloom in spring, followed by lush dark purple foliage that depends throughout the summer. Climate is not an issue for the Newport – it stands up even to extreme climate conditions. Adaptable to various soil types, leaving your location options wide open.
