Prunus cerasifera 'Nigra', commonly known as Black Cherry Plum, is a beloved choice for urban environments, thanks to its impressive tolerance to pollution. This tree doesn't just survive; it thrives, becoming a vibrant and colourful focal point in any garden or cityscape. As one of the first Cherries to flower in spring, 'Nigra' bursts into bloom with single, pink-blushed flowers along its bare shoots, creating a breathtaking display. These flowers gracefully transition to white as the distinctive purple-black twigs emerge, offering a striking contrast. The foliage of 'Nigra' starts as a bronzed hue, transforming into a deep purple throughout summer, and culminating in a magnificent autumn show of red and orange. In some seasons, small red, plum-shaped fruits may appear, adding further seasonal interest. This Black Cherry Plum develops into a stunning, rounded tree, reaching a height and spread of 10m (33'). Thriving in most soils, it's ideal for a sunny, sheltered spot in your garden
