A particularly outstanding early spring flowering tree. It is at is most spectacular when covered with brilliant pink flowers during March to April. Its foliage is a handsome coppery-purple colour. It has an upright shape and we feel it is one of the better 'flowering plums'. Plant in well-drained soil, in a sunny position.
A small tree, so expect a height of 4m (13ft) after 10 years.
Spring glow is supplied at a height of between 1.5 and 1.8 metres in a 12 litre container.

Ornamental Tree Roots In The Shade e.g. Behind A Fence
It is more important that that foliage (posh term for leaves) receives the sunlight than the roots. So if the canopy of your ornamental tree can sunbathe but the bottom of your tree thinks there has been a nuclear winter then that is ok. You might want to ensure you have good drainage as water and no sun is the start of algae and other such issues.

Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. If the corner is of the house and a fence then you also have leeching issues to contend with from cement and wood preservatives. Also when it rains, that area would experience higher water levels so we advise against it unless the plant is very hardy.

If any fruits are formed, they will be small, inedible and barely noticeable.
