Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Oakville Crimson Spire Cherry Plum, Prunus cerasifera 'Oakville Crimson Spire'
A columnar ornamental with serious visual weight. Deep burgundy foliage holds colour through the seasons, while a flush of soft pink blossom in early spring announces the year with precision. At advanced sizes, this tree delivers immediate structure and chromatic contrast from day one.
Why Oakville Crimson Spire Cherry Plum
Deep Burgundy Foliage: Rich purple-red leaf colour provides sustained contrast against green or neutral palettes throughout the growing season.
Spring Flowering Display: Masses of soft pink blossoms emerge before the foliage in early spring, creating a bold seasonal statement.
Narrow Columnar Form: Mature spread of 1 to 1.5m with height to 4 to 6m, exceptional vertical impact with a minimal footprint.
Climate Resilience: Proven drought and frost tolerance once established; performs reliably across a wide range of Australian conditions.
Low Intervention: Adaptable to varied soil types with minimal ongoing maintenance requirements once planted.
Ideal Applications
Avenue & Driveway Planting: Columnar form and strong seasonal colour make this an outstanding choice for formal approach plantings.
Ornamental Screening: Planted in close formation, provides an architectural privacy solution with year-round colour interest.
Vertical Feature Planting: A single advanced specimen commands attention in constrained urban or courtyard settings.
Mixed Boundary Planting: Deep foliage tones contrast effectively against lighter-coloured hedging or hardscape elements.
