| The Purple Leaf Sand Cherry, also sometimes just called “purple sand cherry” is a very popular, fast-growing, beautiful shrub/tree that has gorgeous dark purple foliage during nearly the entire growing season! In the spring it also puts on a show of beautiful light pink-tinted blooms that are lovely to look at. The Purple Leaf Sand Cherry, which has the official science name of "Prunus × Cistena" is a quick-growing shrub that is easy for everyone to grow, even if you do not have a green thumb! The purple-leaf sand cherry can be grown as a shrub or it can be trained to be a small tree, depending on how you choose to trim it as it grows. They get similar colors to the dark purple Japanese maple trees. This is a very hardy (down to zone 3) plant that is very popular and looks good nearly anywhere you choose to plant it. The purple leaf sand cherry makes an excellent background tree/shrub or looks great as a stand-alone specimen. It can be planted close to paved surfaces and near utility lines and can also be used as a deciduous hedge. The purple-leaf sand cherry prefers to be grown in moist, but well-drained soils. It likes to grow in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. |

ESTIMATED SIZE
Sizing can vary, and the average height of the plant will vary. Plants (shrubs & bushes) such as this one grow wide, not just tall, so these are not judged on how tall they are when shipped, instead, they are judged mainly upon the size of the pot they are growing in, which gives you larger roots depending on the size of plant you choose that we have available. The bigger the pot means, the larger the plant will be right from the start.
Quart Pot — Up To 12” inches tall (fewer roots than trade gallon size) Trade Gallon Pot — 12-24" inches tall (more roots than quart size) |
Shipping
Shipping
All of our trees ship Bareroot which means they will ship with no soil and no pot. This allows the plants to have a safer trip through the mail as well as to cut down on shipping costs majorly. The roots will be carefully removed from the pot they are growing in, and then wrapped in moist material with the roots sealed up to keep them moist during transit.
