The Newport Flowering Plum comes alive in the spring with sweet, delicate light pink flowers.

It's one of the hardiest and most reliable purple-leaf plums. Extreme climate conditions are no problem. This Plum is adaptable to various soil types and will thrive in full sun from Zones 4-9.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo Limits on Location\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Newport Flowering Plum looks amazing when planted as a centerpiece in a garden or flower bed, but this tree requires no accompanying plants, bushes or shrubs to make a statement. While it is quite impressive in any setting, it can stand it's own as an ornamental, growing in an attractive round form, reaching up to 30 feet tall and 25 feet wide. There are no limits to where you plant it. It does well in the middle of your yard, on the corner of your landscape, and for extra special spark - purchase a few and line them in a row to create a spectacular border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder Now\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is a very popular tree and unfortunately, we run out of stock often.
