Latin Name: Prunus padus ‘Sweetheart’

Meet the Sweetheart Mayday, a compact and refined version of the classic Mayday tree that delivers maximum impact in smaller spaces. This ornamental gem bursts to life each spring with delicate pink blooms that dance among its striking reddish-purple foliage, creating a breathtaking contrast against the spring landscape.

As summer progresses, the leaves mature to a rich purple-green hue, forming a perfect backdrop for the tree’s next act – clusters of tiny black berries that glisten like jewels in the autumn sunlight. These ornamental fruits add sophisticated texture to fall displays while attracting admiring glances from both humans and birds alike.

Ideal for urban gardens and confined spaces, its upright yet compact habit (typically 15-20′ tall and 10-15′ wide) makes it perfect as a specimen tree, street planting, or focal point in smaller yards. Exceptionally hardy and adaptable, the Sweetheart Mayday thrives with minimal care while offering:

Distinctive Features:

  • Spring spectacle of pink blooms on purple foliage
  • Ornamental black berries persisting into fall
  • Refined, upright form for compact spaces
  • Four seasons of visual interest
  • Exceptional urban tolerance
  • Low-maintenance elegance
