Crimson Pointe™ Flowering Plum

Crimson Pointe™ is a narrow, upright flowering plum sold under that name; its varietal denomination is Cripoizam. The patent describes copper-red spring foliage maturing to deep purple, with abundant white flowers carrying a slight pink base. It reports a columnar tree about 20 feet tall and 5–6 feet wide at the evaluation site. The RHS gives a broader mature range, so allow room for local conditions. ## Garden Use Use this vertical form as a specimen, narrow-space accent, or repeated element along an entry. White spring flowers and purple summer foliage provide contrast. ## Growing Conditions Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. The patent lists USDA zone 4; the RHS profile describes the tree as upright and dense. ## Maintenance Water regularly while young and during extended dry weather. Prune after flowering to preserve the narrow outline, removing crowded, damaged, or crossing branches.
