Found this down the street was on a large unhealthy looking tree about 6-7ft tall
Can anyone help with an ID I live in Perth Western Australia and this plant has been grown in a front garden so it can handle heat at least it doesn't die in heat and semi drought

It looks like Cherry Plum, Prunus cerasifera 'Atropurpurea' which start with some green on the leaves ..

I have a photo of a cherry plum from my own tree, although it was an existing tree it fits the description of Prunus cerasifera pissardii which has white flowers. It doesn't make many fruits.

Very pretty! The leaves do resemble the cultivar 'Pissardii': https://www.greenplantswap.co....

Our database doesn't list a cultivar by that name but shows pissardii as a synonym for

Here's the database link for cultivar 'Atropurpurea' with photos for comparison: Purple Leaf Plum (Prunus cerasifera 'Atropurpurea')

I think the names attached to the end are probably slight variations of the same species Prunus cerasifera, they are still Prunus cerasifera. Nurseries selling them like to attach different descriptions.

What our database lists is "Prunus cerasifera var. pissardii" which is still Prunus cerasifera, not a synonym as such but some authority apparently thinks the 'var.' or variety name isn't significant.

The flowers on mine look like the photo taken at Kew gardens ..
