It has strong adaptability to soil, is not resistant to drought, is more resistant to water and moisture, but grows well in rich, deep, well-drained clay neutral and acidic soil, and is not resistant to alkali.

The main results are as follows: 1. The purple leaf plum is cut short at 1 meter after planting, and it is necessary to pick the heart in the growing season, which can promote trunk differentiation and branch growth.

Generally, the first sprouting branch grows most vigorously under the cutting mouth, and three thicker new shoots are selected as the main branch, which requires the three main branches to be evenly distributed on the central stem and develop obliquely upward at an angle of 45 °. If there is uneven differentiation between the main branches during the growing period, many techniques such as brace, pulling, cutting and retaining bud direction, inner bud pedal and so on can be used to adjust.

2. After the purple leaf plum enters the dormancy or semi-dormancy period in winter, the thin, diseased, dead and overdense branches need to be cut off, and the coring or thinning should be properly removed according to the growth of purple leaf plum.
