Thundercloud Plum

The Thundercloud Plum, Prunus cerasifera 'Thundercloud', displays fragrant, single pink flowers that bloom in spring before foliage emerges. It seldom bears fruit, but has beautiful, glossy, deep purple foliage throughout the growing season. Its fast growth rate and upright to upright-spreading nature quickly forms a 15 to 25-foot-tall, dense silhouette. Its dense crown forms into a round vase shape. Thundercloud is a highly decorative tree with beautiful foliage, so it'll make an excellent tree for Japanese gardens, or just about anywhere you would like an extravagant, showy specimen tree. It prefers sandy or clay soils, and its water needs range from normal to moist. Enjoy this low maintenance tree that also tolerates deer and rabbits. ... additional info
