Description
Thundercloud’ is a deciduous plum (Prunus cerasifera ‘Thundercloud’) notable for its striking dark foliage. In early spring, its stems are adorned with delicate, pink blossoms. The leaves emerge a vibrant red before deepening to a rich purple that persists throughout the summer and until leaf fall in autumn. ‘Thundercloud’ has an upright growth habit, making it a popular choice as a street tree. The parent species, Prunus cerasifera, is native to southeast Europe and western Asia. This cultivar was potentially selected in the United States around 1919, though the exact origin of the clones widely available today may vary.
