Prunus c. 'Newport' (pink)

A stunning ornamental tree, this variety exhibits a rounded habit with a moderate growth rate, reaching a mature height of 15-20 feet with a spread of 15-20 feet. Recommended for USDA hardiness zones 4-7, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, loamy soils. Its pink spring blossoms are showy and fragrant, making it a lovely addition to landscapes. The foliage transforms to a deep purple during the growing season, maintaining visual interest into fall. While the fall color remains primarily purplish bronze, its small, edible, dark purple fruits are a delight for birds and wildlife. This tree offers moderate deer resistance and is versatile for use as a specimen or accent tree, providing year-round beauty in gardens.
