Prunus cerasifera 'Nigra', commonly known as the black cherry plum, is a striking ornamental tree valued for its deep purple foliage and beautiful spring blossoms. In early spring, it bursts into bloom with an abundance of delicate, pale pink flowers that contrast beautifully against its dark, almost black leaves. As the season progresses, the foliage deepens to a rich purple, providing long-lasting colour and interest throughout the summer. In late summer to early autumn, it may produce small, dark red fruits that are loved by birds and can also be used for jams. Its compact size and elegant form make it an excellent choice for gardens, streets, and urban landscapes, where it adds a dramatic splash of colour. Hardy and low-maintenance, Prunus cerasifera 'Nigra' is a favourite among gardeners looking for a tree with year-round visual appeal.

Every plant is hand inspected before being shipped
Every plant is checked by our team before it leaves the nursery. Smaller plants are securely boxed, while larger specimens and pallet orders are shipped on our specialist plant courier network to protect foliage and rootballs in transit.
Most orders are dispatched within 7 working days. Larger specimens and rootballed plants may take a little longer, as we deliver these by pallet — we'll contact you to arrange a convenient delivery date. Full details are on our [Shipping Costs] page.
Let us know within 48 hours of delivery with a couple of photos and we'll put it right with a replacement or refund. We stand behind everything we grow and sell.
All our plants are nursery-fresh and healthy on dispatch and our shipping companies are hand selected for the care they take, so we guarantee the plant's health on delivery. Let us know immediately is soemthing is wrong and we will provide you support.
