This tree provides a pop of deep purple color that makes a bold and unusual accent in any landscape. Plant Newport Plum in a spot where it will break up a boring area with too much green, and you can be sure that this burgundy beauty will turn heads. Pinkish flowers are a bonus in spring. Easy to grow!

Not only is the Newport a remarkably beautiful tree, it’s also the hardiest and most reliable of the purple-leaf plums!

This is a fantastic showpiece tree for those limited spaces, such as patios or small front yards.

The deciduous Newport grows in an attractive round form. White to light pink flowers bloom in spring, followed by lush dark purple foliage that deepens throughout the summer.

Climate is not an issue for the Newport – it stands up even to extreme climate conditions.

Adaptable to various soil types, leaving your location options wide open.

Your Newport Plum can be planted any time of year!

It's Easy to Plant your Newport Plum
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Newport Plum. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Newport Plum gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Newport Plum again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

I order this plum tree mid-February along with some other fruit trees. The tree arrived without any damage, and was full of branches. My tree had been in the ground for about 2 1/2 weeks and already has about 2 dozen blooms and lots of leaves. It has been exciting to watch this tree thrive. Thanks for the great product!
