Plum, Thundercloud

---

Description: Thundercloud Plum Trees have vivid red leaves that give way to a darker almost reddish-purple foliage. The thundercloud Plum tree maintains its rich color throughout most of the season. Deep red plums will pop up along with fragrant, pink flowers that bloom before the leaves in the spring. Thundercloud plums are upright trees that love the sun and can grow to heights of 20 feet tall. The tree does extremely well in dry, hot climates and thrives in almost any soil. They make an excellent accent tree or small shade tree
