Prunus cistena (Purpleleaf Sandcherry) Shrub, #3 - Size Container

Another winner delivered by the gardens that sell on Amazon. Extremely bushy and easily top of thigh high when planted. I was surprised at how big it was. The only issue was there were a lot of little holes in the leaves where some buggies were munching. I never saw any of them and they didn't damage or curl the leaves. I wised up from the last Sandcherry I planted and put a small opening chicken wire cage around the bush. My last one ended up with one stem after the bunny rabbits chomped off all the low branches. This one is to complement the other one and fill in the space a little better. Darn bunnies. Originally I wanted a bush, not a tree. Again, well packed, moist soil, plastic bag tied well around the entire container. Not messy at all.

I am extremely pleased with the Purpleleaf Sandcherry shrub that was sent to me. It arrived before it was scheduled to be delivered and was very healthy and packaged well with not even a broken twig or wilting leaves. It is absolutely perfect! I planted it the same day it arrived and it is thriving, even budding out new leaves and has never lost even one leaf since it arrived! I could not be happier. I highly recommend buying from this seller and will definitely order from them again! I am an avid gardener and very picky about my plants, so this is truly a compliment.

Plant arrived with no damage and really healthy! Much bigger than I was anticipating! Excellent value for the price. Now I hope next spring it will pollinate with my other one and produce little plums!

The sand cherry is a fav! Looking forward to its growth in the seasons to come. Placing it next to a pink azalea in a front area. The company is amazing. Next time next season looking for a white dwarf lilac bush.

These were in better shape than the ones at my local place. Ordered 8 and they all got here safe and the fullness nice I was really surprised for once.

The plant is in perfect condition. Actually in perfect packaging. Delivery was two days ahead of schedule. The size and quality of this plant, at this price, was a complete surprise. I totally recommend this nursery.

It is only a transplant from another plant. It is not a plant directly grown from the seed. It weakly grows. I have been trying to wait until I can put it on the ground (after 2 years), but it is so weak, even though I used fertilizer. I still have to plant it in a big pot, and dare not put it down to the ground because I do not think it is not going to survive the strong heat or the cold weather.

For the two I purchased, they both were extremely root bound when they arrived. I had to take them out, break up the root ball, and then put them in a new container with new soil. They seem to be doing much better now. Also as a heads up if you plan to plant this in your yard, this variety of plant is extreme toxic to dogs.
