Prunus 'Elvins', commonly known as Flowering Plum, is a small deciduous tree renowned for its stunning spring display of pale pink to white blossoms. The tree typically grows to about 4-5 meters in height and spread, making it suitable for smaller gardens and suburban landscapes. After the blooms fade, dark green foliage emerges, which turns vibrant shades of red and orange in autumn.

To grow Prunus 'Elvins' in suburban Melbourne and Sydney, plant it in full sun with well-draining soil. It adapts to a variety of soil types but prefers slightly acidic to neutral conditions. Regular watering is necessary, especially during dry periods. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and protect the roots. Minimal pruning is needed, primarily to remove any dead or crossing branches and to maintain its shape.

'Elvins' is ideal for adding seasonal interest and color to gardens, providing a beautiful floral display in spring and striking autumn foliage. Its compact size and ease of care make it a popular choice for ornamental planting.
