Prunus Krauter Vesuvious is covered in stunning clusters of fragrant pink flowers along the branches in early spring before the leaves. It has attractive deep purple foliage throughout the season. The pointy leaves are ornamentally significant and turn an outstanding burgundy in the fall. The fruits are purple drupes displayed in mid summer. The smooth brick red bark is not particularly outstanding.
