Cherry plum blooming-Purple leaf plum trees

Young Cherry plum trees are blooming in the park.

Cherry plum (Prunus cerasifera) is a popular ornamental tree used for garden and landscaping.
Also known as Purple leaf plum , it is one of the first European trees to flower in spring having pink or white blooms and interesting, coppery-purple foliage. The small flowers have a delightful scent.
