Shhhhh.... don't tell on me! LOL!

I just realized I said I had a purple leaf plum... it's a PURPLELEAF SAND CHERRY )Prunus x cistena) sorry 'bout that.

When I purchased it in 2003, it was in one of those black gallon containers. (the nursery was having a sale) - and was about 4ft tall.
It's now between 5-6 ft tall.

The only thing I did last winter (the 1st one) was put some mulch on it.
In the spring - I was doing a happy dance when I spotted buds.

I have it in one of those foam pots that looks like stone.

Here's a pic of it in Oct 2003 - with its fall foliage.
