Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

Blireana plum is a small, deciduous, flowering tree growing about 20 feet tall and wide. Pink, double flowers appear before leaves emerge. Leaves open purple, maturing to dark green. Habit is rounded, dense, and somewhat twiggy. Its flowers are lovely, but the irregular nature of the tree might make it best suited to a shrub border.
