Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Perhaps one of the showiest small trees in spring, masses of brilliant magenta-pink buds open to fragrant one inch double pink flowers that cover the branches while the bright reddish-purple leaves are just emerging, the dark-purple leaves on this lovely 20' x 20' rounded tree fade to a softer green with purple tinges in summer; this charming tree is a hybrid of P. cerasifera 'Atropurpurea' and P. mume and was developed in France.
