This small ornamental tree is a great accent to a sunny yard or garden. In the spring the branches become coated in beautiful pinkish-red flowers. Bright red fruit hangs on into the winter giving color to your yard and food for the wildlife. Attractive deep purple foliage makes this tree a stunner from spring through fall. The upright, spreading form of this tree allows it to fit into small spaces. Does well in a variety of soils but will do best in moist conditions.
