[Branch & Foliage Encyclopedia | Autumn] Prunus Cerasifera

Hello everyone,

SiKiTO's "Branch Subscription" delivers the best branches selected by professionals, depending on the weather and stock availability at the time.

This time, we'd like to introduce 'Purple-leaf Plum' branches.

A member of the rose family, genus Prunus, it is a deciduous small tree growing 7-8 meters tall, available from late spring to autumn.

Its dark red leaves are distinctive, and it remains a popular choice for its colorful foliage.

The leaf color of this Purple-leaf Plum, which looks like autumn foliage, is a rare variety that has a reddish hue from the time of its spring budding. In autumn, it deepens further into a chic bronze.

Purple-leaf Plum dislikes dryness. It also tends to wilt easily, so it prefers a spot where it is not exposed to too much sunlight or air conditioning.

Recut the stems[*] each time you change the water, or split the base to help it absorb water better.

[*]Cut the stem diagonally while submerged in water.

To be honest, Purple-leaf Plum does not have a long vase life for a branch.

However, its unparalleled cuteness and beauty have made it highly sought after for flower arrangements, ikebana, and bouquets.

Even arranged casually, it has an outstanding presence. Its autumn-like colors are truly top-notch.

Please try incorporating it into your home during the precious short autumn season.
