Prunus cerasifera ‘Oakville Crimson Spire’ is a narrow, upright ornamental plum tree valued for its strong columnar form and rich burgundy foliage. It is widely used in modern landscapes where space is limited but strong visual impact is desired
In spring, the tree is covered in fragrant white flowers with soft pink tones, creating a striking contrast against emerging bronze-red leaves. Through summer, the foliage deepens to a rich burgundy, maintaining colour interest all season
Small purple fruits appear in mid-summer, adding further ornamental appeal
Its rigid, vertical growth habit makes it especially suitable for screening, avenue planting, and architectural garden designs
