Does anyone know the name of this tree?
I got it all wrong and now someone has asked me what it is called

I am afraid I can't help you but I will be watching with interest as this is the tree which lines the street in Rome where a friend lives. Fingers crossed somebody can help out.

It looks like the purple leaf plum, Prunus cerasifera 'Nigra'
It was used a lot as a street tree in Melbourne too
