Prunus Thundercloud Tree Size and Growth Habit

Prunus Thundercloud typically grows to a height of 8 metres with a spread of 6 metres. It features an upright, dense canopy with dark purple leaves that emerge in spring and persist through autumn. The tree produces single, soft-pink flowers in late winter to early spring, just before the leaves appear, creating a stunning contrast against the dark branches. In autumn, the foliage turns vibrant yellow, adding seasonal interest to your landscape.

Planting and Growing Prunus Thundercloud in New Zealand

Plant your Prunus Thundercloud in a sunny location with well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Best planted during winter and spring to promote strong root development before summer. Regular watering during dry periods is essential, especially for young trees. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds, supporting healthy growth. This variety is tolerant of frost and short periods of drought.

Care and Maintenance for Prunus Thundercloud

Maintain your Prunus Thundercloud by watering regularly during dry spells and applying a balanced fertiliser early in spring to encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering.
