The “Royal Purple” Smoke tree will make your yard stand out from the rest. Unusual purple foliage is covered in airy, purple, smoke-like ‘blooms’ in the Summer. Compact size only growing to 15 feet high, makes it easy to fit into a variety of designs. Deciduous.
Easy to grow in average soils; requires excellent drainage. Tolerates poor, rocky, infertile soils. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Fertilize in spring. Prune heavily every few years to promote new growth with larger, more colorful foliage.Pruning time: late winter to early spring
