Prunus cerasifera 'Nigra'
This small tree adds colour to the garden all summer with its dark purple leaves. It is worth it’s place in the small garden as it is interesting all year; in early spring it is covered in a profusion of pale pink flowers and in winter the bare twigs are a shiny black. It will grow in most soils and prefers a light. Bright position to retain the dark purple colour in its leaves.
