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.
Cherry plum trees bear small cherry-like, edible fruits, hence their name.
