Prunus virginiana 'Shiraz' foliage

Note: Plant Variety Rights are applied for 

Our new Prunus virginiana 'Shiraz' provides great late
Summer/Autumn colours.

This amazingly colourful new variety has been selected and developed by Allenton Nurseries Ltd. It is grafted onto special, non-suckering rootstock to ensure a clean growth habit. Foliage is deep, glossy bronze-green over spring and early summer before gradually assuming the glorious tones illustrated. The photograph was taken in late summer (February in NZ) and gradually becomes even deeper and persists into late autumn/early winter.
