Pissardi Message-ID: <459b049d-df50-40dc-c94c-46131207f48b@cuttsreviews.com> Folks, Help! I have been looking for P. cerasifera "Atropurpurea", also known as Pissardi, for two years now. I want a truly purple plant that has normal fruit production. Every purple leaf plum that I have found available commercially either has limited or no fruit or does not have truly purple/reddish leaves for the whole season. In the Albuquerque area there are hundreds of purple leaf plums that bear fruit but no one knows the variety. The ones I've seen are older trees. One theory is that the "fruitless" varieties actually begin to bear fruit as they get older, possibly due to the influence of a rootstock. So even though these appear to be a fruiting variety, I don't want to try to propagate them because they may indeed be a fruitless variety that won't produce anything for ten years. So... if you have a tree that you know for certain is atropurpurea/PIssardi - if it was sold to you that way or you have some other way of verifying the variety - and if you are able and willing to propagate it by cuttings or layering, I would be glad to pay you. I just don't want to spend ten years nursing along a tree that just "looks like" a fruiting purple leaf plum, only to find that it's not. If anyone has a different suggestion about this, I'd love to hear it.

I could mail a scion or probably there are others who have Hollywood nearby where you are.
