Prunus x cerasifera 'Cripoizam'

Crimson Pointe' Plum

Crimson Pointe flowering plum forms a narrow, upright column of reddish-purple foliage that darkens through summer. White flowers, sometimes with a faint purple tint, appear in early spring before most of the leaves unfold. Dark bark adds contrast.

Its slim form suits a narrow planting space or a street-tree planting where the crown can be trained for clearance. Plant at the correct depth with a well-developed, evenly distributed root system.
