GROWING PURPLE-LEAF PLUM TREES
Zones:
Generally, zones 4-9, with most varieties doing best in zones 5-8.
Mature Size:
25’ high and 25’ across.
Growth Rate:
Medium, about a foot or two per year.
Exposure:
For best foliage color and blooming, purple-leaf plum trees should be grown in full sun to only partial shade. Leaves will not reach their full, rich color potential in shade and will turn almost green.
Water:
Purple-leaf plum trees need regular weekly watering. They are moderately drought-tolerant once established, but may need additional deep watering in summer heat.
Pruning:
Little pruning is needed other than to remove dead or diseased branches, and should be done after flowering. Prune in mid-summer if silver leaf is a problem.
