Why Plant Purple Pony Purple Leaf Plum?
Purple Pony is for anyone who wants color that doesn’t clock out after spring. The leaves emerge deep purple and stay richly pigmented, giving your landscape a bold, modern look from the first warm days through the end of the season. Then, in early spring, it adds a softer moment with blush-pink blooms that float against the dark foliage like confetti on velvet.
It’s compact enough for smaller spaces, strong enough to be a true focal point, and versatile enough to work in both contemporary and traditional landscapes. If your garden needs contrast, this tree is basically your best-dressed friend showing up and making everyone else look better.
How to use Purple Pony Purple Leaf Plum in the landscape?
Use it as a front-yard focal tree where the purple foliage can stand out against the home and create instant curb appeal. It’s especially effective near an entry walk or patio, where the spring blooms and dark leaves can be enjoyed up close and provide a strong visual accent without taking over the space. In mixed borders, place it behind mounded shrubs and perennials so the canopy acts as a rich, dark backdrop that makes lighter flowers pop. Pair it with chartreuse foliage plants, white blooms, and silver-leaved perennials to create a high-contrast palette that looks intentional all season long.

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
