Rosaceae
Prunus cerasifera 'Crimson Pointe' is a decorative plum tree with a narrow columnar habit, prized for its glossy dark purple foliage and abundant spring bloom of pale pink to white flowers, which appear before the leaves. Ideal for small spaces, avenues, or formal plantings, this cultivar combines architectural form, sustained color, and delicate blossoms. Its naturally upright habit allows for the creation of colorful vertical accents without excessive ground spread. Very hardy, it tolerates urban pollution and well-drained soils in a sunny location. Although small fruits may occasionally appear, they are discreet and not abundant. 'Crimson Pointe' combines graphic presence, year-round color, and a structured silhouette, perfect for modern and elegant landscapes.
