Prunus cerasifera 'Elvins' (Elvins Flowering Plum)

Prunus cerasifera 'Elvins', commonly known as the Elvins Flowering Plum, is a striking deciduous ornamental tree admired for its vibrant purple foliage and spectacular spring blossom display. Masses of delicate pale pink flowers bloom along the bare branches in late winter to early spring, creating a stunning contrast against the emerging deep burgundy-purple leaves. Throughout the growing season, the richly coloured foliage provides dramatic visual interest before developing warm bronze and red tones in autumn.

Hardy, fast-growing, and easy to maintain, Elvins Flowering Plum thrives in full sun and performs best in fertile, well-drained soil. Its rounded canopy and colourful foliage make it an excellent specimen tree for gardens, streetscapes, and feature planting. Combining beautiful spring flowers with bold foliage colour, this ornamental plum delivers outstanding multi-season appeal for residential and commercial landscapes.
