Ornamental flowering plum tree named ‘Cripoizam’

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Prunus×cerasifera plant is provided that was discovered as a seedling of unknown parentage in a cultivated area among trees of the ‘Newport’ variety (non-patented in the United States). A dense upright columnar growth habit is displayed. The young foliage is copper-red in coloration and at full maturity assumes an attractive deep-purple coloration. Rapid growth is displayed and a larger caliper trunk is formed at an early age. The plant is well suited for providing attractive ornamentation in the landscape.
