Nigra has deep, rich purple foliage and single, pale pink flowers opening from darker pink buds before the leaves. This is a very beautiful medium-sized, round-headed deciduous tree and is one of the first to flower in early spring.

The right tree in the right place can transform a garden whether formal or natural. There are many reasons to grow trees in our gardens but mainly it is for their ornamental value, flowers, berries or autumn colour. Even when leafless in winter they still have their own beauty and form.

Care should be taken to choose a tree that is suitable for the space you have available. Look at the eventual height and spread of the chosen specimen. Delivery from November- early April.
