| Cearbhaill Russell, KY Zone 6b November 23, 2007 | Yet another question from the newbie to the zone :) I see that purple leaf sand cherry is Prunus cistena and purple plum tree is Prunus cerasifera. OK. But I have a plant whose tag reads Ciruela Cistena de Hojo Morada "purple plum tree" and upon searching I am just getting more and more confused. What is it?? Are they one and the same? And if so- I understand the failings of common names but a cherry is not a plum!! Or is it? Don't laugh at the beer bottle photo- I sent the husband out to take plant photos and this was his way of providing size comparison.
