Prunus cerasifera, commonly known as a Purple Leaf Plum tree or Flowering Ornamental Plum tree, are beautiful in the spring with their bright purple flowers that seem to be among the first to bloom. Their purple leaves stand out all season long.
These trees have been planted all throughout the Coeur d’Alene area and, if you happen to have one planted in your yard or a right-of-way location such as a grassy sidewalk strip or swale, you may be looking at it with concern, and rightly so.
