Krauter Vesuvius Cherry Plum 1 Live Tree – Prunus cerasifera ‘Krauter Vesuvius’ – 3 Gallon Pot

Krauter Vesuvius Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera ‘Krauter Vesuvius’) is a deciduous ornamental flowering tree valued for its deep purple foliage and attractive pink spring blossoms. The leaves emerge in rich reddish-purple tones and retain their dark coloration through much of the growing season, providing a striking contrast against green landscape plants. Its naturally upright, rounded growth habit makes it an attractive choice for ornamental gardens and landscape plantings.

In early spring, delicate pink flowers appear along the branches, often before or as the foliage emerges. These blossoms provide seasonal color and may attract visiting pollinators. Small plum-like fruits may occasionally develop, although this cultivar is primarily grown for its ornamental flowers and foliage rather than fruit production.

Supplied as one live Krauter Vesuvius Cherry Plum tree in a 3 gallon nursery pot, this young tree is suitable for sunny landscapes, ornamental borders, and specimen plantings. It generally performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. As a deciduous tree, it naturally loses its leaves during autumn and may be shipped dormant or leafless depending on the season.
