Description
Prunus ‘Royal Burgundy’ is a real statement tree — loved for its rich, dark foliage and its soft pink spring blossom. In early to mid-spring, the branches are dotted with clusters of pink flowers, and as the season moves on the leaves deepen into a glossy burgundy-purple that holds its colour beautifully through summer.
As a multi-stem, it has a more sculptural, airy shape than a standard tree — perfect if you want something with presence and personality, without blocking light. It’s stunning in a lawn, as a feature near a patio, or used to add contrast among fresh greens and silvery planting.
