Prunus cerasifera 'Newport' is an ornamental plum tree with dark purple foliage, highly valued for its early bloom of pale to light pink flowers, which appear in early spring before the leaves emerge. Its regular rounded habit, colorful foliage that persists until autumn, and balanced silhouette make it an excellent choice for solitary planting, flowering hedges, or structured gardens. It sometimes produces small, decorative, non-edible red to purple fruits. Very hardy and suitable for urban environments, 'Newport' prefers a sunny exposure and well-drained soil. This cultivar combines abundant flowering, sustained foliage color, and a harmonious habit, perfect for creating a lasting focal point in the garden.
