Answer 1

You mean the tree trunk is purple?  Hmm...  Could it be a weeping Cherry tree?  It's not exactrly purple(it's more like reddish brownish...), but it kinda is...a little.  A photo might be helpful, though.

Answer 2

perhaps a jacaranda:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Jacar...

Answer 3

it could be a wysteria tree or bush

Answer 4

It would help if you could tell us where you live.  And also how big the tree is - as much info as you can.  A picture would be the best.

I have seen small ornamental peach trees that have purple leaves.  The leaves could be described as "willow-like".  They're pretty small trees though.  If yours is big, it's something else.

Answer 5

possibly a purple leaf sand cherry.  they only get about 15 feet tall and can be cut into a 'bush' appearance also.  i had 2.  they only lived for 14 years though.
